The fluorescent dye DiIC12(3) can be used to label cells when performing analyses such as tumour cell invasion, endothelial cell migration, endothelial cell tubulogenesis, and other cell-based assays. DiIC12(3) is a lipophilic neuronal tracer that is commonly used for labelling neuronal projections as well as lipid bilayers in other cell types. Because DiIC12(3) exhibits low toxicity and minimal effects on cell viability, this dye can be used to pre-label cells for a variety of applications.
- General-purpose probe of membrane structure and dynamics.
The fluorescent dyes DiIC12(3), can be used with Falcon* Corning FluoroBlok* cell culture inserts and insert systems
Note: Cells are known to tolerate different fluorescent dyes for varying amounts of time in culture. While cells labeled with calcein AM should be exposed to the dye for less than eight hours, DiIC12(3) can be used for several days in culture without adversely affecting cells.
