Product Description: TPE-PY is a fluorescent dye targeting mitochondria, which has cationic and lipophilic characteristics, enabling specific targeting of mitochondria. TPE-PY functions through the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) mechanism. TPE-PY mechanism of action is based on the restriction of intramolecular rotation (RIR), which enhances fluorescence in the aggregated state. TPE-PY is mainly used in the field of biological imaging, especially for the specific staining of mitochondria in living cells, facilitating the observation of the location, morphology, and quantity of mitochondria[1].
