Biological Activity
Guide (Following is our recommended protocol. This protocol only provides a guideline, and should be modified according to your specific needs).
1. Prepare a 2-20 mM stock solution of BCECF in DMSO.
2. Prepare a 5-50 μM BCECF dye solution in buffer solutions (Hepes, pH 7.4 or PBS) (BCECF can be introduced into cells using methods such as patch clamping and microinjection.).
3. Add 1000 μL/well (6-well plate),100 μL/well (96-well plate) or 25 μL/well (384-well plate) BCECF dye-loading solution into the cell plate.
4. Incubate the dye-loading plate in a cell incubator about 30minutes.
5. Ratio measurement using dual-wavelength excitation:
Ex/Em = 490 nm / 535 nm (pH-sensitive wavelength)
Ex/Em = 440 nm / 535 nm (pH equal extinction point, used as a reference).
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
