Description

Lucifer Yellow Ch Dipotassium Salt is a highly fluorescent, membrane-impermeant tracer dye widely used in biological research. Its core value proposition lies in its exceptional photostability and bright yellow fluorescence, enabling precise cellular and neuronal tracing. This product is essential for researchers and industrial laboratories in neuroscience, cell biology, and diagnostic assay development. It serves as a critical tool for microinjection studies, gap junction communication analysis, and as a fluorescent label in various biomedical applications.

Application

• Neuronal Tracing and Connectivity Mapping: Microinjection into individual neurons for studying neural circuits and synaptic connections.
• Cell Lineage and Gap Junction Studies: Tracing cell progeny and investigating intercellular communication via gap junctions due to its ability to pass between coupled cells.
• Fluorescent Tracer in Biomedical Research: Used as a vital, non-toxic dye for labeling cells and tissues in live imaging and fixed preparations.
• Diagnostic Assay Development: Employed as a fluorescent tag or marker in the development of biochemical and cellular assays.
• Viability and Cytotoxicity Staining: Application in protocols to assess cell membrane integrity and health.
• Model System Studies: Utilization in developmental biology and physiology research using model organisms.
