Protonex™ Green dye demonstrated pH-dependent fluorescence. Unlike most of the existing fluorescent dyes that are more fluorescent at higher pH, acidic conditions enhance the fluorescence of Protonex™ Green dye. The fluorescence of Protonex™ Green dye significantly increases as pH decreases from neutral to the acidic. Protonex™ Green dye provides a powerful tool to monitor acidic cell compartments such as endosomes, lysosomes and other biological targets. Protonex™ Green 500 WS is not permeable to live cells, enabling the specific detection of extracellular acidic biological targets. Protonex™ Green has the spectral properties similar to those of FITC, making the common filter set of FITC readily available to the assays of Protonex™ Green.
