ER-Laurdan
Based on 1 Customer Validation
ER-Laurdan is a derivative of the membrane-permeable fluorescent probe Laurdan (HY-D0080) that targets the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). As a membrane fluidity reporter, ER-Laurdan specifically localizes to the ER luminal membrane, and exhibits a prominent solvatochromic response to fluidity changes caused by membrane packing and exogenous saturated fatty acid stress. ER-Laurdan shows no overlapping localization with mitochondria, enables quantitative analysis of ER membrane fluidity via generalized polarization ratio measurement, and allows automatic signal masking with the help of ER markers. With high specificity and quantitative capability, ER-Laurdan serves as an important tool for investigating metabolic disorders and associated changes in the physical properties of cell membranes.

Biological Activity
ER-Laurdan (5 μM; 20 min) localizes specifically to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in HeLa cells, with high colocalization with the ER marker ER-Tracker Red[1].
ER-Laurdan (5 μM; 20 min) detects reduced ER membrane fluidity (increased GP) in HeLa cells treated with 200 μM PA (24-48 h), while lower PA concentrations do not induce significant changes[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
