Product Description
DiBAC4(3) is a Bis-oxonol-type, membrane-potential, sensitive dye. According to membrane depolarization detection, when DiBAC distribution in cytosol is increased, the fluorescence intensitiy is increased. Since an argon laser (488 nm) can be used for DiBAC4(3) excitation, it is applicable for flow cytometry and confocal microscopy.
