JC-10 is a highly soluble fluorescent probe ideal for assessing mitochondrial membrane potential. Â In healthy cells with polarized mitochondria, JC-10 aggregates, emitting a strong orange fluorescence (Ex/Em: 540nm/590nm). Â However, in cells with depolarized mitochondria, a hallmark of apoptosis and other cellular stresses, JC-10 reverts to its monomeric form, resulting in a shift to green fluorescence (Ex/Em: 490nm/525nm). This reversible, ratiometric change in fluorescence emission provides a reliable indicator of mitochondrial health. Â JC-10's superior aqueous solubility to JC-1 makes it a convenient and robust tool for various applications, including fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, and high-throughput screening.
JC-10 is light sensitive; exposure to light may affect compound performance. We therefore recommend storing the solid material and any solutions in the dark and protecting from light.
