FeRhoNox™-1

[Labile ferrous ion detecting probe]

570-590 nm：Orange

FeRhoNox-1 is a fluorescent probe for the detection of iron (II). Because of its high specificity, it can be used to detect intracellular Fe2+. This probe tends to be localized localized in Golgi, and reacts selectively with Fe2+.
This probe does not have chelating effect.

Available through Merck KGaA (Darmstadt, Germany) as:
SCT030 BioTracker™ 575 Red Fe2+ Dye

    Cell imaging example using FeRhoNox-1

    HepG2 cells

    Live cell imaging of HepG2 cells using FeRhoNox-1   (1) -Fe(II): cells without addition of ferrous ions (100μM ferrous ammonium sulfate)   (2) +Fe(II): cells with loaded ferrous ions   (3) +Fe(II)+Bpy: further, iron chelator, Bpy was added.

    Fluorescence increase was observed in (2), whereas it was decreased in (3). This results is consistent with that FeRhoNox-1 specifically detects Fe(II).

     

    HEK293cells

    Live cell imaging of HEK293 cells using FeRhoNox-1   (1) -Fe(II): cells without addition of ferrous ions (100μM ferrous ammonium sulfate)   (2) +Fe(II): cells with loaded ferrous ions   (3) +Fe(II)+Bpy: further, iron chelator, Bpy was added.

     

    Detection of physiological level of Fe(II).

    Detection of intrinsic ferrous ions. Since fluorescent signal was decreased in (2) Bpy addition, fluorescent signal in (1) represents intrinsic physiological level of ferrous ions.

     

    *Bpy: 2,20-bipyridyl (Bpy) is a cell permeable ferrous ion chelator.

FAQ

  • Q Can I apply FeRhoNox-1 to the fixed cells?
    A

    You cannot use for paraffin slices.
    To detect Fe2+ ions in tissues, you may prepare frozen section with quick fixation with formaldehyde. Refer the following paper:
    Mukaide et al., (2014) Histological detection of catalytic ferrous iron with the selective turn-on fluorescent probe RhoNox-1 in a Fenton reaction-based rat renal carcinogenesis model
    Free Radical Research 48:990-995
    http://dx.doi.org/10.3109/10715762.2014.898844

  • Q How to choose organic solvent for FeRhoNox-1?
    A

    We recommend to use dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as the solvent for FeRhoNox-1. Among DMSO, we strongly recommend to use “infinity pure” or “ultra-pure”grade and use freshly opened solvent. You may store aliquots of DMSO at -80 oC and avoid adsorption of humid. Avoid to use with dgradated DMSO, which can increase the background signal of FeRhoNox-1. 

     

  • Q Does the probe only detects Fe2+ in Golgi/ER?
    A

    The probes are known to be localized either in Golgi or in ER, however,  it has been considered that they also detect Fe2+ in the cytoplasmic pool. Please note that the definitive evaluation for this point has not been reported, yet. 

  • Q My question is not in this FAQ list.....
    A
