Hypoxia Probe Solution (LOX-1)

MBL Life Sciences

Product Description

This probe is a phosphorescent light-emitting iridium complex. Phosphorescence of this probe is quenched by oxygen, and it is increased in response to low levels of oxygen which is detectable by a general fluorescent microscopy (red-fluorescence). The signal change is reversible, and this probe easily permeates cell membrane. So, the reagent shows real-time response according to oxygen levels in living cells. This probe can be used to observe hypoxia condition inside spheroid and detect subcutaneous xenograft tumors in small animals.
