Cell Meter™ Fluorimetric Mitochondrial Superoxide Activity Assay Kit
Optimized for Microplate Reader
Mitochondria are major producers of cellular superoxide. The production of low to moderate levels of superoxide is critical for the proper regulation of many essential cellular processes including gene expression, signal transduction, and muscle adaptation to endurance exercise training. Uncontrolled mitochondrial superoxide production can trigger cellular oxidative damage that contributes to the pathogenesis of a wide variety of disorders including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases and aging. The detection of intracellular mitochondrial superoxide is of central importance to understanding proper cellular redox regulation and the impact of its dysregulation on various pathologies. Cell Meter™ Fluorimetric Mitochondrial Superoxide Activity Assay Kit uses our unique Superoxide Indicator to quantify superoxide level in live cells. MitoROS™ 580 is live-cell permeant and can rapidly and selectively target superoxide in mitochondria. It generates red fluorescence when it reacts with superoxide. The Cell Meter™ Fluorimetric Intracellular Superoxide Detection Kit provides a sensitive, one-step fluorimetric assay to detect mitochondrial superoxide in live cells with one hour incubation. This kit can be used for fluorescence microplate readers and fluorescence microscopy applications.
Fluorescence images of superoxide measurement in HeLa cells using Cell Meter™ Fluorimetric Intracellular Superoxide Detection Kit (Cat#22971). HeLa cells at 100,000 cells/well/100 µL were seeded overnight in a 96-well black wall/clear bottom plate. AMA Treatment: Cells were treated with 50 µM Antimycin A (AMA) at 37 °C for 30 minutes, then incubated with MitoROS™ 580 for 1 hour. Untreated Control: HeLa cells were incubated with MitoROS™ 580 at 37 °C for 1 hour without AMA treatment. The fluorescence signal was measured using fluorescence microscope with a TRITC filter.
