QUICK LINKS

DiOC2(3) iodide is a fluorescent dye commonly used in research to label and track mitochondria within cells. When added to a cell culture or tissue sample, DiOC2(3) iodide selectively accumulates in the mitochondria due to its lipophilic nature. Once inside the mitochondria, the dye becomes fluorescent, emitting a green signal when excited by a specific wavelength of light. This allows researchers to visualize and study the structure, function, and dynamics of mitochondria under a fluorescence microscope. DiOC2(3) iodide can be used to assess mitochondrial membrane potential, as changes in membrane potential can alter the fluorescence intensity of the dye. This makes it a useful tool for investigating mitochondrial health and function in various experiments. DiOC2(3) iodide interacts with the inner mitochondrial membrane, providing insights into mitochondrial physiology and pathology.
