Safranin
Description
Safranin is one of the most established dyes for measuring mitochondrial membrane potential by fluorometry. It is an extrinsic fluorophore with an excitation wavelength of 495 nm and emission wavelength of 587 nm.
Abbreviation: Saf
Reference: Kauppinen 1984 Am J Physiol, Krumschnabel 2014 Methods Enzymol
MitoPedia methods:
Fluorometry
Synonyms
Safranin O, Safranin Y, Saranin T, Gossypimine, Cotton Red, Basic Red2
Signal and output
- Signal: The O2k-Fluo LED2-Module is operated through the Amperometric (Amp)-Channel of the O2k, with electric current (Amp) as the primary signal.
- Output: The focus of the output with Safranin is on Type C: Force.

Application in high-resolution respirometry
Safranin is a potent inhibitor of Complex I-linked respiration and of the phosphorylation system. At a concentration of 2 µM, safranin can be applied for simultaneous monitoring of oxygen consumption and mtMP of mt-preparations in a CII-linked substrate state.[1]
