The green fluorescent, lipophilic carbocyanine DiOC18(3) is widely used as a lipophilic tracer. It is weakly fluorescent in water but highly fluorescent and quite photostable when incorporated into membranes. It has an extremely high extinction coefficient and short excited-state lifetimes (~1 nanosecond) in lipid environments. Once applied to cells, the dye diffuses laterally within the plasma membrane.

DiO(DiOC18(3)) is yellow solid, and with molecular weight is 882. Abbkine supplies below price/size for your choice: $56/20 mg, $420/200 mg.

The DiO(DiOC18(3)) has below features:  λEX/λEm: 484/501 nm(MeOH).
