1,6-Diphenylhexa-1,3,5-triene

SKU: orb3027084

Description

1,6-Diphenylhexa-1,3,5-triene (DPH) is a lipophilic fluorescent probe widely used to study membrane dynamics. Upon integration into lipid monolayers or bilayers, it exhibits strong fluorescence with excitation/emission maxima at 360/430 nm. This property makes it a valuable tool for in vitro investigations of membrane fluidity, phase transitions, and lipid packing in model and cellular systems.
