Description

For use with fluorescence microscopy

The lipophilic aminostyryl probe DiA inserts into membranes with its two alkyl tails and its fluorophore oriented parallel to the phospholipid acyl chain. When this dialkylaminostyryl probe binds to membranes, it exhibits a strong fluorescence enhancement; its fluorescence in water is minimal.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

I want to label the plasma membrane of my cells, but there are several dyes to choose from. Which one should I use?

For live-cell imaging, the CellVue and CellMask Plasma Membrane Stains are the most uniform and the slowest to be endocytosed. However, they are not the best choice if you wish to fix and permeabilize your cells, such as for antibody labeling. Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) conjugates are also able to label live cells, or can label already formaldehyde-fixed cells. They can survive subsequent permeabilization with detergents, such as Triton X-100. If cells are already permeabilized, WGA will label internal structures as well. Thus, only an antibody against a plasma membrane protein can be used if cells are already permeabilized. Lipophilic cyanine dyes, such as DiI, will label all cell membranes in live cells, not just plasma membranes, if left on live cells for extended periods. Following page will help you choose (http://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/life-science/cell-analysis/cell-structure/plasma-membrane.html).
