Cell Surface & Membrane Dyes
Neuro-DiO in Vegetable Oil
Neuro-DiO is a derivative of DiO and has spectral properties nearly identical to that of the latter. However, unlike DiO, Neuro-DiO is structurally more similar to DiI, which is known to be a much better lipophilic neuronal tracer than regular DiO.
Nile Red
Nile Red is a red fluorescent neutral lipid stain.
Octadecyl Rhodamine B Chloride (R18)
The fluorescence of octadecyl rhodamine B in membranes is quenched at high dye concentration but is released at dilution. This property makes the dye useful for membrane fusion assays.
Rhodamine-DHPE
Rhodamine-DHPE is a rhodamine-labeled glycerophosphoethanolamine lipid that has been used in membrane fusion assays.
Texas Red®-DHPE
Texas Red®-DHPE is a rhodamine-labeled glycerophosphoethanolamine lipid.
TRITC-DHPE
TRITC-DHPE is a rhodamine-labeled glycerophosphoethanolamine lipid. DHPE conjugates of rhodamine dyes have been used in membrane fusion assays.
