Cell Membrane Dyes
Biotium offers a wide range of dyes that bind to cell membranes including:
CellBrite™ membrane dyes, lipophilic carbocyanine dyes that stain the plasma membrane of cells and are non-toxic, for longterm tracking. They come in 4 colors in the visible fluorescent range, and 4 colors in the near-IR range.
CellBrite™ Fix membrane dyes are a new class of fluorogenic membrane dyes that covalently stain the plasma membrane in live cells. They are unique among membrane stains in that they can withstand both fixation and detergent permeabilization.
See below for a complete list of the membrane dyes that we offer, including a large number of classical membrane and membrane potential dyes.

1,6-Diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene
1,6-Diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH, excitation/emission=350 nm/420 nm) is almost non-fluorescent in water, but it exhibits a strong increase in fluorescence after intercalation into membranes and can be used as a probe for viscosity, polarity and lipid order.

DiBAC4(3)
DiBAC4(3) (Bis-(1,3-Dibarbituric acid)-trimethine oxanol) is a so-called translational membrane potential dye that redistributes within the cell membrane when membrane potential changes (1,2). The fluorescence of the dye is enhanced when the dye enters the cell membrane as a result of membrane depolarization.
