Visualization of lipids
The best dye for lipids I have tried! Very little background and very easy to use. Even works on live cells, so live lipid imaging is possible. We have tried it with different cell types and works great. The one issue is that once opened, the shelf life is not too long. But great product overall. Highly recommend this company!

Lipid droplets (LDs) are composed of neutral lipids such as triacylglycerol & cholesteryl ester that are surrounded by phospholipid monolayers and are seen ubiquitously, not only in adipocytes1). LDs were originally thought to serve as a lipid storage unit, until a recent study showing that LDs play an important role in regulating lipid metabolism, autophagy2) and cellular senescence3). Therefore, LDs have gained great attention as an important tool to elucidate the mechanisms of their formation, growth, fusion, and retraction.
