DiI is a long-chain lipophilic carbocyanine dye commonly used for fluorescent labeling of biological membranes. Due to its strong affinity for lipid bilayers, DiI efficiently integrates into cell membranes, making it ideal for tracing cells, organelles, liposomes, viruses, and lipoproteins. It exhibits bright fluorescence, high photostability, and minimal cytotoxicity, enabling long-term imaging and tracking in both fixed and live-cell applications.
