Di-4-ANEPPS membrane stain, for histology
Supplier: Biotium
Synonyms:
4-(2-(6-(Dibutylamino)-2-naphthalenyl)ethenyl)-1-(3-sulfopropyl)pyridinium hydroxide inner salt, 4-(2-(6-(Dibutylamino)-2-naphthalenyl)ethenyl)-1-(3-sulphopropyl)pyridinium hydroxide inner salt
Di-4-ANEPPS is a fast-responding membrane potential dye. Changes in the membrane potential of the cell correlate with changes in the fluorescence excitation intensity of the dye.
- λEx/λEm (MeOH) = 496/705 nm*
- Orange red solid soluble in DMF, ethanol or DMSO
- Store at 4°C and protect from light, especially in solution
Di-4-ANEPPS is internalized in cells rapidly, so it is mainly used for short-term experiments. We also offer Di-8-ANEPPS (catalog number 61012), which is more lipophilic and better retained in the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane.
* Note that the spectra of styryl dyes generally undergo a large blue shift in lipids compared to organic solvent. See the spectra for styryl dyes in liposomes under product images.
