Description
Key facts
Detection method:Fluorescent,
Sample types:Suspension cells, Adherent cells,
Assay Platform:Microplate reader, Fluor. microscope, Flow cyt.
Product details:
Nile Red Staining Kit ab228553 is designed for the quantitative, fluorometric detection and measurement of intracellular lipid droplets using fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry or a fluorescence microplate reader.
In the assay, Nile Red dye is added to the cell samples and the dye selectively stains lipid droplets within the cells. The dye is minimally fluorescent in solution in water so it is not necessary to wash the cells or remove the dye before analysis.
Excitation / emission: 550 / 640 nm.
Lipid droplets are also referred to as lipid bodies, oil bodies, and adiposomes.
Properties and Storage Information:
Shipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions--20°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions--20°C, Storage information--20°C
