B8209-10mg | Nile Red [7385-67-3] Biotrend

Nile Red, is a fluorescent stain specific for the detection of intracellular lipid droplets in hydrophobic environment, but show minimal fluorescence in aqueous media. Nile Red can be applied for staining intracellular lipids, lysosomal phospholipid inclusions and hydrophobic domains of proteins, and detected by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytofluorometry. In all organic solvents, Nile Red is intensely fluorescent, with colors ranging from golden yellow to red.

Cell experiment:[1]
Cell lines	Monkey aortic smooth muscle cells and mouse peritoneal macrophages, induced by acetylated low density lipoprotein
Reaction Conditions	100 ng/ml Nile Red
Applications	Better selectivity for cytoplasmic lipid droplets was obtained when the cells were viewed for yellow-gold fluorescence (excitation, 450-500 nm; emission, greater than 528 nm) rather than red fluorescence (excitation, 515-560 nm; emission, greater than 590 nm).
