Cell & Organelle Stains
Fluorescein biotin
Fluorescein-DHPE
Fluorescein-DHPE is a useful surface pH indicator, and has also been used for measuring lateral diffusion in membranes.
HM1-43
HM1-43 is a fixable, activity-dependent fluorescent nerve terminal probe.
Hoechst
40044, 40046, 40047, - 40045View allHide
Hoechst dyes are cell membrane-permeant, minor groove-binding blue fluorescent DNA stains. Hoechst dyes are widely used in cell cycle and apoptosis studies as nuclear counterstains.
Hydroxystilbamidine (Fluoro-Gold™)
Hydroxystilbamidine (also called Fluoro-Gold™) has been used extensively as a retrograde tracer for neurons and also a histochemical stain.
Hydroxystilbamidine (Fluoro-Gold™), 4% in H2O
Hydroxystilbamidine (also called Fluoro-Gold™) has been used extensively as a retrograde tracer for neurons and also a histochemical stain. The 4% solution in deionized H2O is a convenient, ready-made solution.
JC-1 (chloride salt)
A fluorescent mitochondrial dye that can be used for ratiometric detection of mitochondrial potential changes.
JC-1 (iodide salt)
A fluorescent mitochondrial dye that can be used for ratiometric detection of mitochondrial potential changes.
Lucifer Yellow Cadaverine
Like Lucifer Yellow CH, Lucifer Yellow Cadaverine can be used as a fixable fluorescent tracer. In addition, the dye can be used to conjugate to carboxylic acid groups.
Lucifer Yellow Cadaverine Biotin-X, dipotassium salt
This fluorescent biotin derivative is a useful tracer for studying neuronal morphology. The biotin portion of the molecule allows researchers to amplify the fluorescent signal using standard biotin-avidin or biotin-streptavidin biochemistry.
Lucifer Yellow CH, lithium salt
Lucifer Yellow CH lithium salt (LY CH lithium salt) is a widely used polar molecular tracer for studying neuronal morphology. The fluorescent molecule contains a carbohydrazide that allow the molecule to be aldehyde-fixable.
Lucifer Yellow CH, lithium salt, 100 mM in water
Lucifer Yellow CH lithium salt (LY CH lithium salt) is a widely used polar molecular tracer for studying neuronal morphology. The fluorescent molecule contains a carbohydrazide that allow the molecule to be aldehyde-fixable.
Lucifer Yellow CH, potassium salt
Lucifer Yellow CH potassium salt (LY CH potassium salt) is a widely used polar molecular tracer for studying neuronal morphology. The fluorescent molecule contains a carbohydrazide that allow the molecule to be aldehyde-fixable.
NBD C6-Ceramide
NBD C6-ceramide (6-((N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)amino)hexanoyl)sphingosine) has been used for following sphingolipid metabolism in cells, and as a selective stain for the Golgi apparatus in live and fixed cells.
NBD C6-Sphingomyelin
NBD C6-sphingomyelin (6-((N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)amino)hexanoyl)sphingosyl phosphocholine) has been used for following sphingolipid metabolism in cells.
NBD-PE
NBD-PE (N-(7-Nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)-1,2-dihexadecanoyl-snglycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, triethylammonium salt) in combination with Rhodamine-DHPE (#60026) or Texas Red®-DHPE (#60027) has been used to study membrane fusion via fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) (1-3). NBD-PE has also been used in photobleaching recovery measurement.
