General description

3,3′-Diethyloxadicarbocyanine iodide, also known as DODCI is a laser dye that belongs to the group of cyanine dyes.

Application

3,3′-Diethyloxadicarbocyanine iodide is a suitable dye for mode-locking both pulsed and cw tunable rhodamine 6G lasers. It has been used as a micellar probe as it is positively charged and it stays at the micelle–water interface.

A novel application of voltage-sensitive dyes is described. Hippocampal slices in vitro accumulated voltage-sensitive cyanine dyes under conditions presumed to cause depolarization and hyperpolarization. Increasing extracellular potassium caused a depression of dye uptake that correlated linearly with the membrane potential

Isolated guanine quadruplex structures have been described at high resolution both in solution and in the solid state. The existence of this unusual DNA structure in vivo and its biological significance remain to be determined. We describe the binding of

The number of quanta secreted from selected sites along terminal branches at toad (Bufo marinus) neuromuscular junctions was determined. Terminal branches were visualized by prior staining with the fluorescent dye, 3-3 Diethyloxadicarbocyanine iodide (DiOC2(5)); neither impulse conduction nor quantal release

Uptake of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid (AIB) was examined in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells treated with the cation-exchange ionophore nigericin (20 microgram/ml). Membrane voltages were measured using the voltage-sensitive dye diethyloxadicarbocyanine (DOCC). In normal phosphate-buffered media, nigericin changed the distribution ratios of
