Guide (Following is our recommended protocol. This protocol only provides a guideline, and should be modified according to your specific needs).
1. Stock Solution Preparation: Dissolve CellTracker Red CMTPX in high-quality anhydrous DMSO to create a 10 mM stock solution.
2. Working Solution Preparation: Dilute the stock solution 1:1000 to 1:2000 in pre-warmed (37°C), serum-free media (e.g., 5 μM final concentration).
3. Labeling (Suspension/Adherent Cells):
(1) Remove medium and add the pre-warmed working solution.
(2) Incubate cells for 15-45 minutes at 37°C.
(3) Remove working solution and replace with fresh pre-warmed media.
(4) Allow cells to incubate for another 30-60 minutes to allow the dye to convert to its membrane impermeant form.
4. Imaging: Use rhodamine or Texas Red filters (approx. 586/614 nm).
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. .
