3,3-Dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide, 98%

Application

3,3′-Dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide has been used:to selectively stain endophytic ascomycetes in plant roots and liverwortsto visualize thrombus formation and platelet aggregateto visualize forchlorfenuron (FCF)-induced changes in mitochondrial morphology

General description

3,3′-dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide (DiOC₆) is a supravital lipophilic fluorochrome. This cationic dye is employed to stain mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum in animal and plant cells. In addition, it acts as a very rapid, consistent and highly selective fluorochrome for endophytic ascomycetes in plant roots and liverworts. DiOC₆ also facilitates the detection of different mitochondrial changes happening during early apoptosis.
