Hello, We have been trying to use JC1 to stain sperm for mitochondrial function. We are having very inconsistent results with it--the green always stains and always shows a slight shift in intensity between dead/live sperm, but the orange is inconsistent. We are compensating for the green overlap into the orange pmt, but we often do not get any difference in intensity of the orange between the dead and live sperm. Does anyone have any suggestions, hints, or a good working protocol for using this dye? Thank you very much! Leslie Armstrong-Lea Colorado State University (970) 491-1347 larmstro@cvmbs.colostate.edu
