Cell Structure Reagents and Kits
Invitrogen™ Hexidium Iodide
Permeant to mammalian cells
Invitrogen™ Laurdan (6-Dodecanoyl-2-Dimethylaminonaphthalene)
When the lipophlilic probe laurdan is incorporated into membranes, its fluorescence spectra is sensitive to the physical state of the surrounding phospholipids.
Invitrogen™ DiD' solid; DiIC18(5) solid (1,1'-Dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-Tetramethylindodicarbocyanine, 4-Chlorobenzenesulfonate Salt)
When applied to cells, dye diffuses laterally within the plasma membrane
Invitrogen™ DiR'; DiIC18(7) (1,1'-Dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-Tetramethylindotricarbocyanine Iodide)
The near IR fluorescent, lipophilic carbocyanine DiOC18(7) ('DiR') is weakly fluorescent in water but highly fluorescent and quite photostable when incorporated into membranes.
Invitrogen™ Dil Stain (1,1'-Dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-Tetramethylindocarbocyanine Perchlorate ('DiI'; DiIC18(3)))
DiI is a lipophilic membrane stain that diffuses laterally to stain the entire cell. It is weakly fluorescent until incorporated into membranes.
Invitrogen™ Ethidium Homodimer-1 (EthD-1)
The cell-impermeant viability indicator ethdium homodimer-1 (EthD-1) is a high-affinity nucleic acid stain that is weakly fluorescent until bound to DNA.
Invitrogen™ FM™ 5-95 (N-(3-Trimethylammoniumpropyl)-4-(6-(4-(Diethylamino)phenyl)hexatrienyl)Pyridinium Dibromide)
For use with fluorescence microscopy
Invitrogen™ CellTracker™ CM-DiI Dye
A red fluorescent dye well suited for monitoring cell movement or location
Invitrogen™ CellTracker™ Fluorescent Probes
CellTracker™ is a fluorescent dye well suited for monitoring cell movement or location. After loading into cells, the dye is well retained, allowing for multigenerational tracking of cellular movements.
Invitrogen™ CellLight™ Tubulin-RFP, BacMam 2.0
Provides easy method for labeling of tubulin with Red Fluorescent Protein in live cells
Invitrogen™ DiIC18(5)-DS (1,1'-Dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-Tetramethylindodicarbocyanine-5,5'-Disulfonic Acid)
When applied to cells, the dye diffuses laterally within the plasma membrane
Invitrogen™ CellVue™ Plum Cell Labeling Kit
Far-red fluorescent reagent used to label the cell membrane in order to identify and track labeled cells. Cell labeling is rapid and stable and can be combined with fluorescently labeled antibodies and other markers of cellular function for flow cytometric analysis and fluorescent microscopy.
Invitrogen™ CellVue™ Burgundy Cell Labeling Kit
Far-red/near-infrared fluorescent reagent used to label the cell membrane in order to identify and track labeled cells. Cell labeling can be combined with fluorescently labeled antibodies and other markers of cellular function for flow cytometric analysis and fluorescent microscopy.
Invitrogen™ CellVue™ Lavender Cell Labeling Kit
Violet fluorescent reagent used to label the cell membrane in order to identify and track labeled cells. Cell labeling can be combined with fluorescently labeled antibodies and other markers of cellular function for flow cytometric analysis and fluorescent microscopy.
Invitrogen™ ER-Tracker™ Red (BODIPY™ TR Glibenclamide), for live-cell imaging
