MitoSOX Red is a live cell fluorescent probe that specifically targets mitochondria and is cell membrane permeable. MitoSOX Red enters mitochondria and is oxidized by superoxide but not by other ROS or RNS generating systems. The oxidized MitoSOX Red then binds to nucleic acids in mitochondria/nucleus, producing strong red fluorescence. MitoSOX Red can be used as a fluorescent indicator to specifically detect superoxide. In addition, superoxide dismutase (SOD) can prevent the oxidation of MitoSOX Red.

    In Vitro

    Guidelines (Following is our recommended protocol. This protocol only provides a guideline, and should be modified according to your specific needs).
    1. Preparation of MitoSOX Red working solution
    1.1 Preparation of the stock solution
    Dissolve MitoSOX Red in DMSO to obtain 5 mM of stock solution.
    Note: This stock solution is stable for one day.
    1.2 Preparation of MitoSOX Red working solution
    Dilute the stock solution in serum-free cell culture medium or PBS to obtain 1-10 μM of working solution.
    Note: Please adjust the concentration of MitoSOX Red working solution according to the actual situation.
    2. Cell staining (Suspension cells)
    2.1 Centrifuge at 1000 g at 4°C for 3-5 minutes and then discard the supernatant. Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time. The cell density is 1×106/mL.
    2.2 Add 1 mL of working solution, and then incubate at room temperature for 5-30 minutes.
    2.3 Centrifuge at 400 g at 4°C for 3-4 minutes and then discard the supernatant.
    2.4 Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
    2.5 Resuspend cells with serum-free cell culture medium or PBS. Observation by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry. 3. Cell staining (Adherent cells)
    3.1 Culture adherent cells on sterile coverslips.
    3.2 Remove the coverslip from the medium and aspirate excess medium.
    3.3 Add 100 μL of working solution, gently shake it to completely cover the cells, and then incubate at room temperature for 5-30 minutes.
    3.4 Wash twice with medium, 5 minutes each time. Observation by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.

    Precautions
    1. Please adjust the concentration of MitoSOX Red working solution according to the actual situation.
    2. This product is for R&D use only, not for drug, household, or other uses.
    3. For your safety and health, please wear a lab coat and disposable gloves to operate.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
