Sulforhodamine 101 (SR101) is a red fluorescent dye.

Primulin, a dye known for its ability to visualize plant cell walls, is frequently utilized in botanical studies for detailed observation of cell morphology and structure.

CY5-DBC0 is utilized in cellular imaging to label cell membranes, nuclei, or other organelles, thus revealing cell morphology, structure, and function. In tissue imaging, it helps observe changes in the structure and function of deep tissues like blood vessels. Additionally, CY5-DBC0 is applied in fields such as protein labeling, drug delivery, and biosensing, providing tools and methodologies for biomedical research. The excitation/emission (Ex/Em) wavelengths are 640/663 nm.

TPE-PY is a fluorescent dye designed for mitochondria, characterized by its cationic and lipophilic properties, enabling it to specifically target mitochondria. It operates via an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) mechanism by restricting intramolecular rotation (RIR), thereby enhancing fluorescence in the aggregated state. TPE-PY is primarily utilized in bioimaging, particularly for specific staining of mitochondria in live cells, assisting in the observation of mitochondrial location, morphology, and quantity.

Mito-DK is a small molecule fluorescent dye that responds without crosstalk to polarity, mtDNA, and mitochondrial morphology. It offers high photostability, low cytotoxicity, and excellent mitochondrial targeting properties. Mito-DK is suitable for real-time tracking and multidimensional evaluation of mitochondria-related pyroptosis in cancer cells.

PNE-Lyso is an activatable fluorescent probe capable of detecting intracellular pH and hexosaminidases via dual fluorescence signals. It distinguishes apoptosis from necrosis by visualizing lysosomal morphology and facilitates the investigation of agent-induced cell death processes [1].

BODIPY TR methyl ester serves as a lipophilic GFP counterstain, easily permeating cell membranes to accumulate in endomembranous organelles, while exhibiting minimal localization in plasma membranes. It is a highly effective red fluorescent vital dye (Ex=568 nm, Em=625 nm) that can reveal the location and shape of cell nuclei, the morphology of cells in embryonic tissues, and the boundaries of organ-forming tissues within an entire embryo [1].

Texas red-X 4-succinimidyl ester, a derivative of Texas Red, is an amphoteric rhodamine red fluorescent dye. Texas Red is widely utilized to investigate neuronal morphology and serves as a cell type-selective fluorescent marker for astrocytes, both in vivo and in slice preparations.
