18:1 Cyanine 5 PC
1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine-N-(Cyanine 5)
Product Overview:
18:1 Cyanine 5 PC (Cyanine 5-Phosphatidylcholine) is a fluorescently labeled lipid that integrates the cyanine dye Cyanine 5 (a far-red fluorescent probe) with the phosphatidylcholine (PC) backbone, providing a versatile tool for molecular imaging and cellular tracking applications. Cyanine 5 is a fluorescent probe that emits near the infrared region and has good photostability. This probe allows for deep tissue penetration and minimal interference from biological autofluorescence, thus making 18:1 Cyanine 5 PC useful for in vivo imaging and real-time biological monitoring. Cyanine 5 probes are commonly used in applications such as cellular uptake studies, drug delivery tracking, and biomolecular interaction assays. Cyanine 5 PC is often conjugated with targeting ligands and therapeutic agents which enhances the precision and functionality of lipid nanocarriers in targeted therapy and diagnostic applications. Additionally, 18:1 Cyanine 5 PC has been used to track cell membrane dynamics and lipid bilayer behavior in real time.
