LipoFluor-P2™ is a cell-permeant stain for intracellular lipid droplets and the endoplasmic reticulum. This tracing reagent can be used on live and fixed cells and is compatible with other dyes. LipoFluor-P2™ has a large Stokes Shift, shows excellent resistance to photobleaching, and demonstrates low cytotoxicity.
Application(s)IF, ICC, Live Cell IF
SpecificityFluorescent imaging of lipid-rich cellular compartments. Cell penetration and localisation of LipoFluor-P2™ has been confirmed in cardiomyocytes, H9c2 cell line and LNCaP prostate cells.
Species ReactivityHuman, Mouse, Other Mammals, Rat
Concentration10mM
Purity DescriptionThin layer chromatography using alumina plates and a solvent system of ethanol and water (3:1) revealed the presence of fluorescent isomers. No amount of starting material was detected.

Application DetailsFluorescent imaging of lipid-rich compartments.
Sample types: live cells, fixed cells (4% paraformaldehyde). Serum-free culture medium is recommended for staining, as lipids contained in serum can reduce signal. Please refer to the product manual Epifluorescence microscopy: YES Confocal microscopy: YES Multiphoton imaging: YES Infrared spectroscopy: NO Raman spectroscopy: NO Ex/Em: 405 nm / 600 nm.
The typical working concentration is 10µM (1:1000 dilution) in an appropriate buffer or cell culture medium. Biosensis recommends that the end user determine optimal dilutions/concentrations.
