The cell membrane defines the boundary between a cell's interior and its surroundings, playing key roles in signal transmission and molecular transport. We offer five membrane-selective fluorescent dyes that enable clear, consistent staining with minimal effort; simply add the reagent to your culture media. Each dye emits in a unique wavelength range, allowing for multiplexing with other fluorescent probes.

Example of Membrane Staining with DiI Solution (Product No. D6202)
- Culture cells and remove medium.
- Add medium supplemented with D6202 to a final concentration of 5 μM (staining medium), and incubate cells at 37°C for 10 minutes.
- Remove staining medium and wash three times with PBS(-).
- Observe cells via a fluorescence microscope.

Example of Membrane Staining with PKH 26 Solution (Product No. P3316)
- Culture cells and remove medium.
- Add medium supplemented with P3316 to a final concentration of 2 μM, and incubate cells at room temperature for 5 minutes.
- Add a volume of fetal bovine serum (FBS) equivalent to the volume of medium used in step 2, and incubate cells at room temperature for 1 minute.
- Remove medium with FBS and wash three times with PBS(-).
- Observe cells via a fluorescence microscope.
