Product Overview
DiOC6(3) (3,3'-Dihexyloxacarbocyanine Iodide) is used for fluorescence imaging of the endoplasmic reticulum.
Description
DiOC6(3) is a cell-permeant, green-fluorescent, lipophilic dye that is selective for the mitochondria of live cells when used at low concentrations. At higher concentrations, the dye may be used to stain other internal membranes, such as the endoplasmic reticulum.
Usage
Endoplasmic reticulum fluorescent probe
Stability
Stable under normal conditions.
Storage
2-8℃, protect from light.
