Background/Introduction: Rhodamine encompasses a family of structurally related dyes that are derivatives of xanthene. Some important subtypes of the rhodamine family include Rhodamine 123, Rhodamine 6G, and Rhodamine B. They are often used to dye inks and paper. In addition, they are used as a tracer dye in order to find the rate or direction of flow and transport of water. Rhodamine is used as a collective marker in small mammals for studying movements. Rhodamine dyes are fluorescent and can therefore be easily and cheaply detected with a fluorometer. Rhodamines are even used in some lasers. Rhodamine dyes are often used in biological detection applications such as flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy, ELISA, and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. The subtype Rhodamine 123 is used in biochemistry to inhibit the function of mitochondria. Rhodamine 123 inhibits transport processes such as the electron transport chain and slows down inner respiration by binding to the mitochondrial membranes. Rhodamine 123 is also a substrate of P-glycoprotein (usually overexpressed in cancer cells) as well as of multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP1). There are many rhodamine derivatives used for imaging purposes, such as tetramethylrhodamine (TMR) and its isothiocyanate derivative (TRITC), carboxytetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA), as well as sulforhodamine 101 (and its sulfonyl chloride form Texas Red), and Rhodamine Red. Cell Biolabs' Rhodamine Competitive ELISA Kit provides a convenient method for the detection of total rhodamine in extracts from cells, tissue, serum, plasma, or foods. The total content of rhodamine in unknown samples is determined by comparison with a rhodamine standard curve. Each kit provides sufficient reagents to perform up to 96 assays, including standard curve and unknown protein samples. The kit has a detection sensitivity limit of 1 uM rhodamine.

Product Notes
The Rhodamine (Catalog #AAA169593) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Rhodamine, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
