DiO perchlorate [3,3’-Dioctadecyloxacarbocyanine perchlorate]

DiO perchlorate [3,3-Dioctadecyloxacarbocyanine perchlorate]?Features and Biological ApplicationsDiI, DiO, DiD and DiR dyes are a family of lipophilic fluorescent stains for labeling membranes and other hydrophobic structures. The fluorescence of these environment-sensitive dyes is greatly enhanced when incorporated into membranes or bound to lipophilic biomolecules such as proteins although they are weakly fluorescent in water. They have high extinction coefficients, polarity-dependent fluores...
