Nile Red

Nile Red CAS: 7385-67-3 | MF: C20H18N2O2 | MW: 318.37, Buy Histological Stains & Dyes for Histology, Cytology, Microbiology, Hematology & Biology Lab from TriStains.

Nile red, also known as Nile blue oxazone, is a crystalline powder that has a chemical formula of C20H18N2O2 and is a greenish-red crystal. It is an extremely lipophilic fluorescent stain with wide applications in staining intracellular lipid droplets, which are yellow under fluorescence microscopy. Since Nile Red has very good fluorescence characteristics, it has found wide application in biological studies and in analysis-based chemistry. Nile Red has the chemical name: 9-( diethylamino)-5H -benzo[a]phenoxazin-5-one.

Applications

• Nile Red is typically used to localize and measure lipids, in particular, neutral lipid droplets that are found in the cell.
• It finds extensive use in cell biology as a membrane-selective dye and is easily visualized under an epifluorescence microscope. Red fluorescent protein will be the most suitable fluorescence imaging protein, with its excitation and emission wavelengths usually compatible with it.

Key features

• Improved Visualization of Lipid and Membrane: Provides a good contrast of cellular membranes and lipid structures.
• Consistent and Predictable Performance: Also remains consistent when staining.
• High Purity: Ensures accurate, repeatable and reliable findings.
• Versatile Usage: Applicable in cell biology, lipid analysis and analytical chemistry.
• Cost-Effective Solution: Have a good quality at a reasonable cost.

General Description

Nile Red, a synthetic fluorescent dye (CAS: 7385-67-3, MF: C20H18N2O2, MW: 318.37) is a lipid-selective staining dye. It exhibits a high level of fluorescence in the non-polar (hydrophobic) state, which contributes to its usefulness in investigating lipid distribution, metabolism, and storage in biological samples. Nile Red has a broad range of applications, very high photostability and a high sensitivity, which makes it a widely used stain in research laboratories and diagnostic centers.
