Biological Activity

Description	Rhodamine 6G (R6G, Basic Red 1, Rhodamine 590) is a fluorescence tracer that binds to mitochondria, thus reducing the intact mitochondria number and inhibiting mitochondrial metabolic activity.
In vitro	1.Preparation of Rhodamine 6G working solution 1.1Preparation of the stock solution Dissolve 1 mg Rhodamine 6G in 525 μL DMSO to obtain 5 mM of stock solution. 1.2Preparation of Rhodamine 6G working solution Dilute the stock solution in serum-free cell culture medium or PBS to obtain 1-20 μM of working solution. Note: Please adjust the concentration of Rhodamine 6G working solution according to the actual situation. 2.Cell staining 2.1 Suspension cells (6-well plate) a.Centrifuge at 1000 g at 4℃ for 3-5 minutes and then discard the supernatant. Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.The cell density is 1×106/mL. b.Add 1 mL of working solution, and then incubate at room temperature for 5-30 minutes. c.Centrifuge at 400 g at 4℃ for 3-4 minutes and then discard the supernatant. d.Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time. e.Resuspend cells with serum-free cell culture medium or PBS. Observation by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry. 2.2 Adherent cells a.Culture adherent cells on sterile coverslips. b.Remove the coverslip from the medium and aspirate excess medium. c.Add 100 μL of working solution, gently shake it to completely cover the cells,and then incubate at room temperature for 30-60 minutes. d.Wash twice with medium, 5 minutes each time. Observation by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry. Note: If detection by flow cytometry, cells need to be resuspended before staining.
