LipoFluor-DMN-LDTM Lipid Droplets & LAMP1-Positive Vesicle Tracing Reagent

LipoFluor-DMN-LDTM is a new cell-permeant stain for the selective staining of lipid droplets (LDs) in various cellular contexts, including live and fixed cells, as well as in three-dimensional speroids, using both single and two-photon excitation.

The liquid stock solution vials can be stored up to 12 months from date of receipt at 2-8°C, properly sealed and protected from light. Working solutions should be used within 24 hours and not stored for later use.

Live HeLa cells, fixed cells, a three-dimensional spheroid model, and Caco-2 cells cultured a microgravity. These systems demonstrated the versatility and efficacy of the DMN-LD dye for selective staining of lipid droplets (LDs) in different biological contexts. Additionally, using both single and two-photon excitation further validated the applicability of DMN-LD in diverse imaging settings. The validation of DMN-LD in these test systems emphasizes its potential utility as a valuable tool for studying LD dynamics and cellular processes.

LipoFluor-DMN-LDTM is for selective staining of lipid droplets (LDs) in various cellular contexts, including live and fixed cells, as well as in three-dimensional spheroids, using both single and two-photon excitation. The dye's versatility, near-instantaneous cellular uptake, simple compound storage/stability, lower background fluorescence, and high-intensity LD staining make it a valuable tool for rapid resonance scanning and gaining insights into the complex biology of LDs, which has implications for disease states.
