I'm using JC-1 to measure the mitochondrial membrane potential by laser confocal microscopy. I used 100uM of FCCP as a positive control. Surprisingly, it caused lower green to red ratio and was significantly lower than the untreated cells. My cells are cryopreserved mice oocyte. On the other hand, FCCP did work and caused an elevation in calcium using Fluo 3 AM and caused plasmalemmal membranes depolarization.
