Jc 1 assay kit

Manufactured by Cayman Chemical
Sourced in United States

The JC-1 assay kit is a fluorescent probe used to detect changes in the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) of cells. The kit measures the ratio of J-aggregates to monomeric JC-1, which is an indicator of ΔΨm. This assay can be used to study various cellular processes related to mitochondrial function.

Measuring Mitochondrial Membrane Potential

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
As an early event in the mitochondrial apoptosis cascade, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) depolarization was measured using JC‐1 assay kit (Cayman, USA). Briefly, after experimental treatment, AML12 cells were cultured in 12‐well plates and incubated with JC‐1 staining solution (5 μg/ml) at 37°C for 15 min and washed twice with PBS. MMP was estimated by measuring the fluorescence ratio of free JC‐1 monomers (green) to JC‐1 aggregates in mitochondria (red) using fluorescence microscopy (Leica, DMLB2, Germany). Mitochondrial depolarization is indicated by an elevation in the ratio of hepatocyte emitting green fluorescence.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
