Product Introduction
Bioactivity
| Name | Ruthenium Red |
| Description | Ruthenium Red (Ammoniated ruthenium oxychloride) is a polycationic dye widely used for electron microscopy (EM) of cells, tissues and vegetative bacteria. Ruthenium red strongly reacts with phospholipids and fatty acids and binds to acidic mucopolysaccharides. Ruthenium red is a L-type calcium current (ICa) blocker, blocks Ca2+ uptake and release, and voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels |
| Cell Research | 1. Solution preparation 1. Mother solution preparation: Dissolve Ruthenium Red in an appropriate solvent, DMSO or H2O, usually at a concentration of 1-10 mM. 2. Working solution preparation: Dilute Ruthenium Red into the required working solution using PBS/DMEM/H2O, usually at a concentration range of 1-10μM, which needs to be adjusted according to the experimental situation. 1. As a calcium current blocker 1. Cell treatment: Add Ruthenium Red working solution to the cell culture medium and incubate at different time points to observe the inhibitory effect of L-type calcium channels. 2. Calcium ion monitoring: Use calcium indicators (such as Fura-2, Fluo-4, etc.) combined with fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry to monitor changes in intracellular calcium ion concentration. 2. For electron microscopy observation 1. Sample staining: Add Ruthenium Red working solution to cells or tissue samples, stain for a certain period of time, remove and wash with PBS. 2. Microscopic observation: Observe the sample using an electron microscope or fluorescence microscope to check the staining effect. III. Cell membrane and tissue staining: 1. Solution preparation: Dilute the Ruthenium Red stock solution in PBS or other suitable buffer, and the concentration can be adjusted to 10-50 μM. 2. Cell or tissue staining: Add the dye solution to the cell culture medium, incubate for 15-30 minutes, and then observe the labeled cell structure by fluorescence microscopy. |
