Rhodamine 123, 25 mg - FAQs

如果使用我们的FluoVolt 膜电势试剂盒（货号F10488），该试剂盒包含一种背景抑制剂，可改善这一问题。对于其他指标剂，可以考虑使用BackDrop 背景抑制剂（货号R37603、B10511和B10512）。

在周围电场的作用下结构变化的分子可用作检测瞬时（毫秒级）电位变化的快反应探针。慢反应染料则会进入去极化细胞，结合蛋白或膜。增强去极化会造成额外的染料流入，增强荧光强度；过极化的特征则是荧光强度下降。快反应探针通常用于完整心脏组织的电位活动成像，或测量药理刺激引起的膜电位变化。慢反应探针常用于探索线粒体功能和细胞活力。

Rhodamine is a generic term for a wide variety of cationic dyes whose fluorescence emission can range from green, orange to red. The table below lists the excitation and emission maxima (nm), as well as molar extinction coefficients (“EC”; cm^-1 M^-1), for various rhodamine dyes (data derived with dye dissolved in methanol).

Dye	Excitation	Emission	EC
Rhodamine B	568	583	88,000
Rhodamine 123	507	529	101,000
Rhodamine 110	499	521	92,000
Rhodamine 6G	528	551	105,000
XRITC	572	596	92,000

If you use our FluoVolt Membrane Potential Kit (Cat. No. F10488), the kit provides a background suppressor to reduce this problem. For other indicators, consider the use of BackDrop Background Suppressor (Cat no. R37603, B10511, and B10512).

Molecules that change their structure in response to the surrounding electric field can function as fast-response probes for the detection of transient (millisecond) potential changes. Slow-response dyes function by entering depolarized cells and binding to proteins or membranes. Increased depolarization results in additional dye influx and an increase in fluorescence, while hyperpolarization is indicated by a decrease in fluorescence. Fast-response probes are commonly used to image electrical activity from intact heart tissues or measure membrane potential changes in response to pharmacological stimuli. Slow-responding probes are often used to explore mitochondrial function and cell viability.
