Product Name :   
    DiBAC4(3) (bis-(1,3-dibarbituric acid)-trimethine oxanol)

Description:

DiBAC4(3) 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. The rate of fluorescence response of the dye to membrane potential change is usually slower than that of the styryl dye di-4-ANEPPS, but the fluorescence signal change for the former is significantly larger than for the latter dye. A new and potentially very important application for DiBAC4(3) is its use in high throughput drug screening3

    61012
Product Name :   
    Di-8-ANEPPS

Description:

ANEPPS dyes are fast responding membrane potential dyes.1 Biotium offers both Di-4-ANEPPS and Di-8-ANEPPS. Di-4-ANEPPShas the problem of being internalized in cells over long-term, so it is mainly used for short-term experiments. However, because Di-8-ANEPPS is more lipophilic, the dye is better retained in the outer leaflet of cell plasma membranes and thus more suitable for long-term membrane potential studies. Di-8-ANEPPS is also more photostable and less phototoxic than Di-4-ANEPPS.2,3

  • Store at 4°C and Protect from light, especially when in solution.
