DHE (Highly Pure) by Molecular Depot is a dihydroethidium, also called hydroethidine, the reduced form of the DNA dye ethidium bromide. The reduced compound is uncharged, membrane permeant and only weakly fluorescent; oxidation restores the aromatic cation, which then intercalates into DNA and fluoresces red. It is used to detect intracellular superoxide and oxidative stress in fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry and in redox biology research. Each unit contains 5 mg. MBP supplies Molecular Depot research reagents to research labs in the United States, Canada and worldwide.
