Biotium DPA
Supplier: Biotium 60037
Dipicrylamine (DPA) is a nonfluorescent anionic membrane dye. With its absorbance in the blue region of the visible spectrum, DPA can be used as a FRET quencher for a variety of fluorescent donor dyes. When applied to cells, DPA localizes at the interface of cytoplasmic membrane and aqueous phase in a manner sensitive to membrane potential change. A recent application of DPA is to measure cell membrane potential change by combining with the fluorescent donor dye DiOC16. The DiO/DPA system has been reported to produce a fluorescence signal change of >56% in HEK-293 cells and >25% in neuronal cultures and brain slices per 100 mV membrane potential change. Please also see the DiO/DPA Membrane Potential Detection Kit. Properties: Yellow solid soluble in DMSO at >30mg/mL; Abs. (MeOH) = 406 nm; Store at 4°C; MWt: 439.21; [131-73-7]
