Description

Description: 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 increases as pH decreases from neutral to the acidic. The lack of fluorescence outside the cell eliminates the wash steps. Protonex™ Green dye provides a powerful tool to monitor acidic cell compartments such as endosomes and lysosomes. Protonex™ Green dye is non-fluorescent outside the cells, but fluoresces brightly green in acidic compartments (such as phagosomes, lysosomes and endosomes). This Protonex™ Green enables the specific detection of cellular acidic compartments with reduced signal variability and improved accuracy for imaging or flow applications. 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.
