LipidSpot™ Lipid Droplet Stains
LipidSpot™ dyes rapidly stain lipid droplets in live cells or fixed cells, with no wash step required. Available with green or red/far-red fluorescence.
LipidSpot™ stains are fluorescent dyes that rapidly stain lipid droplets in live or fixed cells, with no wash step and minimal background.

Intracellular lipid droplets are cytoplasmic organelles involved in the storage and regulation of triglycerides and cholesterol esters. LipidSpot™ dyes are fluorogenic neutral lipid stains that rapidly accumulate in lipid droplets, where they become brightly fluorescent. The dyes can be used to stain lipid droplets in both live and fixed cells, with no wash step required. Cells also can be fixed and permeabilized after staining. LipidSpot™ stains show minimal background staining of cellular membranes or other organelles, unlike traditional dyes like Nile Red.
