Description
Octadecyl Rhodamine B Chloride is a fluorescent lipophilic cell membrane probe.
Uses
Octadecyl Rhodamine B chloride is a cationic amphiphile that can be used for staining cell membranes. Octadecyl Rhodamine B chloride can be used in numerous studies including electronic energy transfer in organized molecular assemblies, membrane structure, and distances of closest approach between protein domains and membranes[1].
