Applications Rhodamine-123 is a fluorescent dye most commonly used in flow cytometry as functional reporter for Pgp. Rhodamine 123 (R123), as a typical of P-glycoprotein substrate, was widely used to quantify P-glycoprotein (P-gp) functional efflux activity in vivo. Rhodamine-123 can be used in multiparameter analyses without fluorescence interference in combination with common protein labeling dyes such as PE-Cy5 and AMCA (7-amino-4-methylcoumarin-3-acetic acid).
