DASPEI

Catalog No. T78456   CAS 3785-01-1

DASPEI is a cationic styrenyl mitochondrial dye characterized by a large Stokes shift and excitation/emission wavelengths at 550/573 nm, yielding robust chromogenic properties. It effectively stains mitochondria in live cells and labels presynaptic nerve endings regardless of neuronal activity [1].

Description DASPEI is a cationic styrenyl mitochondrial dye characterized by a large Stokes shift and excitation/emission wavelengths at 550/573 nm, yielding robust chromogenic properties. It effectively stains mitochondria in live cells and labels presynaptic nerve endings regardless of neuronal activity [1].
In vitro Preparation of DASPEI Working Solution: Dissolve DASPEI in DMSO to create a 10 mM stock solution, which should be aliquoted and stored at -20°C or -80°C, protected from light. Dilute the stock with pre-warmed serum-free cell culture medium or PBS to a final concentration of 5-10 μM immediately before use. Adjust the concentration as needed for specific applications.

Cell Staining for Suspension Cells: Collect cells by centrifugation and wash twice with PBS for 5 minutes each, targeting a cell density of 1×10^6/mL. Add 1 mL of DASPEI working solution and incubate at room temperature for 30-60 minutes. Centrifuge at 400 g for 3-4 minutes, discard the supernatant, and wash the pellet twice with PBS for 5 minutes each. Finally, resuspend cells in 1 mL of serum-free medium or PBS for observation with a fluorescence microscope or flow cytometer.

Cell Staining for Adherent Cells: Culture adherent cells on sterile coverslips. After culturing, transfer the coverslip from the medium, remove excess medium, and apply 100 μL of staining working solution. Gently agitate to ensure complete coverage and incubate for 30-60 minutes. Remove the staining solution, wash coverslips with culture medium 2-3 times for 5 minutes each, and observe using a fluorescence microscope.

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the

  • Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
See Example

An example of a molarity calculation using the molarity calculator
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 10 ml of water given that the molecular weight of the compound is 197.13 g/mol?
Enter 197.13 into the Molecular Weight (MW) box
Enter 10 into the Concentration box and select the correct unit (millimolar)
Enter 10 into the Volume box and select the correct unit (milliliter)
Press calculate
The answer of 19.713 mg appears in the Mass box

Calculator the dilution required to prepare a stock solution

Calculate the dilution required to prepare a stock solution
The dilution calculator is a useful tool which allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentration. Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1.

See Example

An example of a dilution calculation using the Tocris dilution calculator
What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 20ml of a 50 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=50 μM, V2=20 ml and V1 is the unknown:
Enter 10 into the Concentration (start) box and select the correct unit (millimolar)
Enter 50 into the Concentration (final) box and select the correct unit (micromolar)
Enter 20 into the Volume (final) box and select the correct unit (milliliter)
Press calculate
The answer of 100 microliter (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (start) box

Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
Molecular mass (molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed n the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
