Specific Mitochondrial Staining: Janus Green B is a redox-sensitive dye that stains mitochondria a distinctive bluish-green color in actively respiring cells. It is specifically reduced by mitochondrial dehydrogenases to a colorless form or a pink intermediate, making it an excellent indicator of mitochondrial activity and integrity.
Vital Stain: Designed for use with living cells, allowing researchers to observe mitochondrial dynamics and activity in situ without the need for fixation, preserving the physiological state of the cells.
High Purity for Accurate Results: Manufactured to stringent histology-grade standards, ensuring minimal impurities that could interfere with the delicate redox reactions or compromise specific staining. This leads to clearer, more reliable visualization of mitochondria.
Indicator of Cell Health: The intensity and pattern of Janus Green B staining can serve as a qualitative indicator of cellular metabolic activity and viability, as only metabolically active mitochondria maintain the oxidized, colored state of the dye.
Versatile Research Tool: Beyond mitochondria, Janus Green B has also found applications in visualizing other cellular components and structures in various live tissue studies, including peripheral nerves and lymphatic vessels.
Consistent Performance: Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to guarantee consistent staining results and dependable performance, crucial for comparative studies and long-term research projects.
