Octadecyl Rhodamine B (chloride)

Octadecyl Rhodamine B chloride is an amphiphilic fluorescent probe with both membrane-binding ability and fluorescent properties, which easily forms aggregates in aqueous phase leading to self-quenching. Octadecyl Rhodamine B chloride can be used for cell membrane staining and further applied in membrane biology research. The maximum absorption/emission wavelengths of Octadecyl Rhodamine B chloride monomer in Triton X-100 are 565 nm/585 nm; the absorption peaks of aggregates in water are blue-shifted to 524 nm and 574 nm, with significantly quenched fluorescence[1].
