3 3'-DIETHYLOXACARBOCYANINE IODIDE 98 Usage And Synthesis

Uses

3,3''-Diethyloxacarbocyanine Iodide is a fluorescent probe for measuring membrane potential. It has been used to analyze bacterial viability by flow cytometry using fluorescence emission ratio detection.

Uses

DiOC may be used as a conjugate for labelling cells for cytofluorometry studies . It may also be used in the imaging of carbon nanotubes(CNTs) using fluorescence microscopy. Staining of spermatozoa can potentially be done by DiOC which can be used in flow cytometric measurement and viability assay.

Definition

ChEBI: C3-oxacyanine is a C3 cyanine dye having 3-ethyl-1,3-benzoxazol-2(3H)-yl units at each end. It has a role as a fluorochrome. It is an organic iodide salt, a cyanine dye and a member of 1,3-benzoxazoles. It contains a C3-oxacyanine cation.

General Description

3,3′-Diethyloxacarbocyanine iodide(DiOC) is a cyanine based dye which is used in the photosensitization of mitochondria and endoplastic recticulum in animals and plant cells.
