FAQ
How does DiBAC4(3) function as a membrane potential probe?
DiBAC4(3) functions by entering cells and binding to intracellular proteins or membranes. The probe’s fluorescence increases with cell depolarization due to additional dye influx, while polarization results in reduced fluorescence.
Is DiBAC4(3) sensitive to temperature changes?
Yes, the sensitivity of DiBAC4(3) is temperature-dependent, which means that optimal results may vary with changes in ambient conditions. Always ensure consistent temperature during experiments.
Can DiBAC4(3) be used in live-cell imaging?
DiBAC4(3) is ideal for live-cell imaging as it effectively indicates changes in membrane potential in real-time, helping researchers monitor cellular activities dynamically.
