Invitrogen™ CellTracker™ CM-DiI Dye

A red fluorescent dye well suited for monitoring cell movement or location

• After loading into cells, dye is well retained, allowing for multigenerational tracking of cellular movements
• Red excitation/emission spectra (553/570nm maxima) are optimal for multiplexing with green fluorescent dyes and proteins
• Fluorescent signal retention of >72 hours (typically three to six generations)
• Low cytotoxicity—does not affect viability or proliferation
• Improved water solubility when compared to DiI
• Designed to freely pass through cell membranes into cells, where it is transformed into cell-impermeant reaction products
• These dyes are transferred to daughter cells but not adjacent cells in population
• Stable, nontoxic at working concentrations, well retained in cells, and brightly fluorescent at physiological pH
