Description
Rhodamine 123 is an extrinsic fluorophore and can be used as a probe to determine changes in mitochondrial membrane potential. Rh123 is a lipophilic cation that is accumulated by mitochondria in proportion to ΞΟmt. Using ethanol as the solvent, the excitation maximum is511 nm and the emission maximum is 534 nm.The recommended excitation and emission wavelengths in PBS are 488 and 515-575 nm, respectively (Sigma-Aldrich).
