Abstract
The method for fluorescent staining of cellular and intracellular membranes includes contacting a cell sample, such as a cell culture, with a fluorescent probe including Zn(II) meso-tetrakis(N-n-hexylpyridinium-4-yl)porphyrin tetrachloride (ZnTnHex-4-PyPCl). The fluorescent probe is an amphiphilic, water-soluble compound. The fluorescent probe does not interfere with cell culture media components or other staining products. The fluorescent probe is not harmful to cells.
