LysoBrite™ Lysosome Dyes

LysoBrite™ dyes are fluorescent dyes that selectively stain lysosomes and other acidic organelles. Due to their hydrophobic nature, LysoBrite™ dyes permeate live cells and selectively accumulate in the lysosomes via the lysosome’s pH gradient. The fluorescence property of these dyes significantly increases within the lysosome’s acidic environment; this fluorescence can be measured using flow cytometry and fluorescence imaging. Due to their selective fluorescence inside lysosomes, LysoBrite™ dyes provide low background and high contrast during imaging. They can be used with proliferating and non-proliferating cells, and are suitable for suspension and adherent cells.
