General description

Copper is one of the trace metals required by living organisms and is an essential cofactor for enzyme activities of cytochrome c oxidase, superoxide dismutase, and tyrosinase. On the other hand, abnormal homeostasis of copper leads to severe disorders such as Menkes syndrome and Wilson′s disease, or may be related to Alzheimer′s disease and cancers.BioTracker Green Copper Live Cell Dye is a fluorescent probe to detect Cu+, which is a dominant redox state of copper in an intracellular reducing environment. The dye is a colorless material with almost no fluorescence. Upon the reaction with Cu+, its fluorescence intensity at 510 nm increases more than 100 times to that before the reaction. However, fluorescence increase is not observed in the presence of reactive oxygen species and other trace metals in cells including Cu2+, Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Fe+, Fe2+ and Zn2+.Spectral Properties:Absorbance (max): 480nmEmission (max): 510nmResearch Category:Live Cell Dye

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. Could you please provide information on the concentration and use of the Biotracker Green Copper Live Cell Dye (SCT041)?

    1 answer

    1. The Biotracker Green Copper Live Cell Dye (SCT041) is provided as a lyophilized powder, hence no specific concentration is provided.
      Preparation instructions are as follows:
      1. Preparation of the reagent: CopperGREEN is a colorless solid. Before opening the vial, spin down the solid to the bottom by a microcentrifuge.
      2. Warm the vial to room temperature and add 50 μl of DMSO to one vial to make a 1 mM stock solution. Dissolve the crystal completely by careful pipetting. The solution will also be a colorless liquid. Use a neutral buffer solution for dilution of the stock solution. It's important to note that CopperGREEN could be oxidized in acidic solutions.

      For further details, please refer to the article and internal information.

  2. What is the detection range of this probe for copper concentration?

    1 answer

    1. Unfortunately, the minimum intracellular level of Cu+ that the probe can identify has not been established. The recommended usage concentration in culture medium is 5 uM. In the cell-free system, the probe can detect Cu+ at a concentration of more than 0.2 µM.
