Di-8-ANEPPS

Di-8-ANEPPS from ruixi.Di-8-ANEPPS is one of the membrane potential dyes. These dyes show weak fluorescence in aqueous medium and become strong fluorescence when combined with lipophilic environment (such as membrane). The variation of the surrounding electric field indicates a membrane potential dependent shift in the excitation spectrum, which allows the use of excitation ratio measurements to quantify membrane potential.By using a potential fluorescent dye, such as di-8-ANEPPS, the change of ΔΦ on cell membrane can be observed and its value can be measured noninvasively. When di-8-ANEPPS binds to the membrane lipid bilayer, the change of fluorescence intensity is proportional to the change of ΔΦ.
