Background InformationThe mitochondrion is a multifunctional organelle involved in energy production for the cell plus additional cellular functions. The active cycle of mitochondrial fusion and division induces morphological changes, called mitochondrial dynamics. Abnormalities in morphological dynamics are associated with neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic disorders, and other disorders. The demand for tools enabling long-term observation of mitochondrial dynamics has therefore increased.

Methods for monitoring mitochondrial dynamics are usually based on small fluorescent molecules or plasmid transfection techniques. The use of plasmids requires the target protein to be stably expressed, while small fluorescent molecules are widely used because they can simply be added to cells. Among commercially available small fluorescent molecules, those containing the chloromethyl moiety are common. However, these dyes have limitations, including short-term retention in cells, decreased fluorescence intensity in serum, and high background.
The BioTracker™ Red Mitochondria Live Cell Probe overcomes these limitations. This probe is designed to exhibit mitochondrial fluorescence retention for long-term visualization. In addition, SCT272 shows stronger fluorescent signal compared with other commercially available dyes that contain the chloromethyl moiety.
