LumiTracker Lyso Red

LumiTracker Lyso Red is a red-fluorescent dye that selectively accumulates in cellular organelles with low internal pH. Particularly, it is used to stain lysosomes in living cells which maintain a low internal pH, i.e. an acidic environment, by an ATP-dependent proton pump providing optimal conditions for the activity of digestive enzymes.This dye is suitable for vital staining.Because the core part of the dye structure belongs to the BDP family, it exhibits strong hydrophobic properties, which provides good permeability through cell membrane. Generally, despite the high selectivity of the dye for lysosomes, it is recommended mostly for the imaging purposes and is not intended to quantify lysosomes.
