Membrane Dyes

APTAB is a fluorescent cationic membrane probe. APTAB locates the anthracene-labeled molecules incorporated into model membranes by fluorescence quenching.

DiSC18(3) is a lipophilic carbocyanine dye for membrane labelling.

DiOC7(3) (3,3'-Diheptyloxacarbocyanine iodide) is a green membrane potential probe (Ex=450-490 nm, Em=510-520 nm). DiOC7(3) can be used to quantify the vascular densities.

DiOC3(3) (3,3'-Dipropyloxacarbocyanine iodide) is a green fluorescent lipophilic dye with cell membrane permeability. DiOC3(3) can be used to stain cell membranes and other lipid-soluble biological structures.

3-Morpholinobenzanthrone is a fluorescent membrane probe, possessing higher dipole moment values in the excited-state than in the ground-state.

RH 795 is a lipophilic potentiometric styryl fluorescent dye (Ex/Em = 530 nm/712 nm). RH 795 stains the cell membranes of sensory cells and nerve fibers in living cells that maintain membrane potential, while it shows weak staining effect on supporting cells. RH 795 supports in vivo and in vitro confocal microscopy imaging of intact living inner ear cells and neuronal components. RH 795 can be used in studies related to hearing loss.

Flipper-TR 5 is a Flipper probe containing a terminal carboxylate for retention on the plasma membrane. Flipper-TR 5 selectively labels the cytoplasmic membrane, and exhibits excellent mechanical sensitivity, negligible cytotoxicity and controllable phototoxicity.
