Live imaging fluorescent dye for lipid droplets (LDs) LipiDye

Date:May 27 2025Web Page No:95037

Funakoshi Co.,Ltd.

LipiDye is a highly sensitive lipid droplets staining reagent for long-term live cell imaging. In addition to its high lipid droplets specificity, LipiDyeshows low toxicity and high photostability, making it useful for long-term observation.

Fig. 1 Comparison data between LipiDye and Nile Red

Fig. Comparison data between LipiDye and Nile Red
Lipid droplet in Adipocyte is stained with LipiDye or Nile Red. Nile Red also stains cytoplasm, while LipiDye specifically stains lipid droplet clearly.
* General filter for green fluorescent (e.g. FITC or GFP, etc) is not compatible with LipiDye. Please use an appropriate filter.


Reference data

Fig.1 Preadipocytes differentiation

Fig.1 Preadipocytes differentiation Differentiation process of preadipocyte (adipose progenitor cell) : 3T3-L1 is observed with LipiDye. Along with differentiation, lipid droplet also becomes grows in size.


Fig.3 Application of LipiDye in both post-fixed and pre-fixed cells

Fig.2 Application of LipiDye in both post-fixed and pre-fixed cells
LipiDye is applied to cultured adipocytes after (left) or before (right) paraformaldehyde fixation. Regardless of fixation timing, LipiDye detects lipid droplet highly sensitive.

* Methanol fixation is not recommeded as it affect to the structure of lipid droplets. Please use cross-linking fixatives, such as paraformaldehyde.
