RAPID DiI
RAPID DiI is a cyanine dye with orange-red fluorescenc (EX≈550 nm; Em≈565 nm). RAPID DiI is a lipophilic dye that labels cell membranes by inserting its two long hydrocarbon (C18 carbon) chains into the lipid bilayer. RAPID DiI is weakly fluorescent until incorporated into membranes. RAPID DiI diffuses laterally to stain the entire cell, allowing it to be used as an anterograde and retrograde tracer of neurons.

Biological Activity
RAPID DiI does not transfer from labeled to unlabeled cells in intact tissue, but some transfer may occur when the membrane is disrupted, for example, after sectioning.
