The CellROX Green Flow Cytometry Assay Kit enables the flow cytometric detection of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in live cells. The kit includes the novel, fluorogenic CellROX Green Reagent, as well as SYTOX Red Dead Cell Stain, N-acetyl cysteine (an antioxidant, for negative control), and tert-butyl hydroperoxide solution (TBHP, an inducer of ROS).

View a selection guide for all CellROX™ Reagents and Kits.

The CellROX Green Flow Cytometry Assay Kit features:

• Fluorogenic probe formulated for flow cytometry that is oxidized in the presence of ROS
• Multicolor compatibility—minimal overlap with fluorophores excited by other laser lines, allowing easy multiplexing with other reagents
• Simple protocol—cells can be stained in complete media or other appropriate buffer, no need for serum free media

The CellROX Green Detection Reagent is cell-permeable and non-fluorescent or very weakly fluorescent while in the reduced state. Upon oxidation, the reagent binds DNA and exhibits a strong fluorogenic signal that has absorption/emission maxima of 508/525 nm and remains localized to the nucleus and mitochondria. When used together with the included SYTOX Red Dead Cell Stain, oxidatively stressed and nonstressed cells are reliably distinguished from dead cells by flow cytometry.
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

The excitation/emission maxima for the CellROX Green Reagent are 508/525 nm.

H2DCFDA and similar derivatives are not fixable. The same goes for dihydroethidium and dihydrorhodamine. However, CellROX Deep Red and CellROX Green are retained for a limited time upon fixation with formaldehyde. CellROX Green may be retained upon subsequent Triton X-100 permeabilization. Avoid the use of any acetone or alcohol-based fixatives or fixatives that include alcohol, such as formalin.

CellROX Green dye diluted in a DMSO stock solution is stable for multiple freeze-thaw cycles, but it is not stable long-term in aqueous solution. Please note, every time the stock solution is opened, some of the dye can oxidize, which will increase background noise. DMSO readily absorbs moisture from the air, especially when cold, so be sure to completely thaw the stock solution to room temperature before opening and only open briefly. Water in the DMSO will gradually cause the dye to precipitate and come out of solution. Minimize the number of times you use a stock solution to several freeze-thaw cycles or make small aliquots to reduce the number of freeze-thaw cycles.

The main difference between the CellROX Green Flow Cytometry Assay Kit (Cat. No. C10492) and CellROX Green Reagent, for oxidative stress detection (Cat. No. C10444), is the suggested final working concentrations and application. The CellROX Green in the CellROX Green Flow Cytometry Assay Kit is specifically designed for flow cytometry analysis and is used at a lower concentration than what is required for imaging, as fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) is a very sensitive detection system.

The standalone CellROX Green Reagent (Cat. No. C10444) is marketed for fluorescent microscopy and require working concentrations appropriate for imaging. This can typically be as much as 10-fold higher than the concentration recommended for flowcytometry. The standalone CellROX Green Reagent can also be used for flowcytometry; however, the working concentration will have to be optimized. For the flow cytometry quick reference, use the link below.

Many dyes that are used on mammalian cells have also been shown to be useful in bacterial cells. For example, CellROX Deep Red Reagent has been shown to work in B. subtilis (see Reference: http://www-brs.ub.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/netahtml/HSS/Diss/RaatschenNadja/diss.pdf). If you are interested in a particular dye, but are not sure if it will work on your bacteria, literature searches are the best way to check to see if it has been tested. If not, then it may be worth testing yourself.

Journal:
PubMed ID:24056459
Cyanobacteria are emerging as promising hosts for production of advanced biofuels such as n-butanol and alkanes. However, cyanobacteria suffer from the same product inhibition problems that plague other microbial biofuel hosts. High concentrations of butanol severely reduce the growth and even low amounts can negatively affect metabolic processes. An understanding ... More

Oxidative stress in a biological system is often defined as a redox imbalance within cells or groups of cells within an organism. Reductive-oxidative (redox) imbalances in cellular systems have been implicated in several diseases, such as cancer. To better understand the redox environment within cellular systems, it is important to ... More
