I'm using Mitotracker (Green) and MitoSox (Red) probes to study ROS generation in oligodendrocytes from primary cell culture. I wonder to know if these probes could be incubate at the same time or they should be incubate sequentially. Thanks!!
Yes, you can use both the dyes together. However incubation time may differ for both. For me incubation of 15 mins is sufficient for MitoTracker staining, however MitoSOX needs 45mins of staining.
You can use MitoTracker with MFN-1, DRP-1 or other mitochondrial dynamics marker to asses mitochondrial fission or fusion.
You can check the mitochondrial dyes in detail here. https://www.thermofisher.com/search/browse/category/us/en/90220110/ros-nitric+oxide+pathway+reagents+and+kits
