Guide (The following is our recommended protocol. This protocol is only a guide and should be modified according to your specific needs).
1. Solution preparation[1]
1.1 Prepare stock solution
Solvent: DMSO
Concentration: 1 mM is recommended (e.g., weigh 0.58 mg BODIPY-Cholesterol and dissolve in 1 mL solvent).
Storage: After aliquoting, store at -20°C or -80°C in the dark and avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
1.2 Preparation of working solution
Dilute to 0.5-5 μM (optimized according to the experiment) with PBS (or other buffer).
Note: The working solution should be prepared and used immediately, and protected from light.
2. Cell staining
2.1 Wash cells with PBS.
2.2 Label the cell suspension with BODIPY-Cholesterol (final concentration 0.5-5 μM), mix well and incubate at 37°C for 10-20 minutes.
2.3 Flow cytometric detection (Ex/Em = 505/515 nm).
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
