Neuro-DiI
Neuro-DiI was developed at Biotium as an alternative to the widely used fluorescent membrane probe DiI. Neuro-DiI has structural features that may make the probe diffuse faster than DiI on cell membranes and also may result in a more stable labeling.

Product Description
Neuro-DiI was developed at Biotium as an alternative to the widely used fluorescent membrane probe DiI. Like Dilinoleyl DiI, Neuro-DiI has structural features that may make the probe diffuse faster than DiI on cell membranes. However, Neuro-DiI dye has saturated carbon chains, making it more hydrophobic than Dilinoleyl DiI, for potentially more stable labeling with less dye transfer between cells. Neuro-DiI has nearly identical absorption and emission wavelengths to those of DiI. We also offer Neuro-DiI in Vegetable Oil for microinjection studies. Also see our CellBrite™ Orange Cytoplasmic Membrane Dye, a ready-to-use dye solution for cell labeling.
