Notes
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.
