Hello,

	I have an investigator who is atttempting to evaluate mitochondion
membrane potential  with JC1 after treatement with cytotoxic drugs.

	Under the fl microcope, we observe in the control cells,  very few
mitochiondia (orange) at all. Could this be a stain concentration effect (
1uM)?
	Is there any practical experience with JC1 and HeLa cells we should be
aware of....?   The cells were trypsinized to create the suspension, is
this being too harsh?

	Regards,  Dave G.
