Dil red fluorescent dye

Manufactured by Beyotime
Sourced in China

Dil (red fluorescent dye) is a laboratory reagent used for fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry applications. It is a lipophilic dye that incorporates into cell membranes, allowing for the visualization and tracking of cells. The dye emits red fluorescence when excited by appropriate wavelengths of light.

Fluorescent Labeling of Exosomes for Cellular Uptake Analysis

Dil (red fluorescent dye, Beyotime, C1991S) was diluted to a concentration of 5 mmol/L with DMSO solution and stored at −20°C. Briefly, every 50 μg (1 μg/μL) of exosomes were added to 1 μL of Dil and incubated for 15 minutes in the dark. To remove excess dye, 3 mL of PBS and Exosome Isolation Reagent were mixed and centrifuged at 1500×g for 30 minutes. Supernatant was then aspirated, and the Dil-labeled exosomes were resuspended in 50 μL of PBS. H9C2 cells were seeded onto a 96-well plate until a confluence of 60%, and then co-cultured with Dil-labeled EVs for two time periods (6 hours, 24 hours). Then, the cells were washed with PBS and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min. The nuclei were stained with 6-diamino-2-phenylindole (DAPI, Beyotime, C1005) for 10 min and subsequently visualized using a fluorescence microscope.

Exosome Uptake Visualization in Cardiac Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To evaluate MSC-Exo uptake by H9c2 cells and HUVECs, Dil (red fluorescent dye, C1036, Beyotime, China) was used to label Exos. Then Exos and recipient cells were co-cultured for 6 and 24 h at 37°C, after which they were washed with PBS and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min. Nuclei were then stained with 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (0.5 g/ml; Beyotime) for 10 min and observed under a confocal microscope.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
