Luc Yellow CH dilithium
Based on 7 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Luc Yellow CH dilithium is a high-intensity fluorescent probe containing free hydrazyl groups. Luc Yellow CH can react with fatty aldehydes at room temperature. Luc Yellow CH serves as a biological tracer to monitor neuronal branching, regeneration, gap junction detection and characterization, and selective ablation of cells after aldehyde fixation. Luc Yellow CH displays the maximum excitation/emission of 430 nm/540 nm, respectively.

Guide (The following is our recommended protocol. This protocol is only a guide and should be modified according to your specific needs).
1 Preparation of dye working solution [3]
1) Prepare 0.33 M lithium citrate solution containing 5% Lucifer Yellow CH as the working solution.
2 Specific staining steps
1) Insert a glass capillary microelectrode containing Lucifer Yellow CH working solution into the neuron and apply a constant hyperpolarizing current (0.2-0.5 nA) for 5-15 min for ion electrophoresis injection.
2) Simultaneously monitor the DC potential and action potential induced by intracellular stimulation. Only one cell is labeled per slice.
