Rhodamine-DHPE
Rhodamine-DHPE is a fluorescently labeled phosphatidylethanolamine lipid that labels phospholipid bilayers. Rhodamine-DHPE serves as a fluorescence quenching substrate and membrane stain. The fluorescence lifetime of Rhodamine-DHPE decreases significantly in the presence of Cu2+-PS complexes. Rhodamine-DHPE effectively stains the membranes of human red blood cells and mouse fibroblasts, and supports lifetime-resolved imaging via pump-probe fluorescence microscopy.

Biological Activity
Cu2+-PS complexes dynamically quench the fluorescence of Rhodamine-DHPE in supported lipid bilayers, with reduced fluorescence lifetime and temperature-independent quenching efficiency[2].
Rhodamine-DHPE (5 mg/mL; 30 min) is used in imaging human erythrocytes, where pump-probe fluorescence microscopy provides superior spatial resolution and off-focal background rejection for imaging Rhodamine-DHPE-labeled human erythrocytes compared to conventional one-photon microscopy[3].
Rhodamine-DHPE (10 μg/mL; 30 min) is used in imaging fixed mouse fibroblast cells, where pump-probe fluorescence microscopy provides superior spatial resolution for imaging Rhodamine-DHPE-labeled fixed mouse fibroblast cells compared to conventional one-photon microscopy[3].
Rhodamine-DHPE (10 μg/mL; 30 min) is used in imaging fixed mouse fibroblast cells, where lifetime-resolved pump-probe fluorescence microscopy distinguishes Rhodamine-DHPE-stained cytoplasmic structures (lifetime of 2.0 ns) from ethidium bromide-labeled nuclei in fixed mouse fibroblast cells, generating clear contrast between regions with overlapping emission spectra[3].
