Biological Description:This tricarbocyanine fluorophore is excited at 750 nmand has an emission peak at 782 nm. It also has virtually no fluorescence in water, while having high fluorescence when incorporated into cell membranes. Long-chain dialkylcarbocyanines are widely used as anterograde and retrograde neuronal tracers in living and fixed tissues and cells.
