Lucifer Yellow CH dipotassium salt
Based on 7 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Lucifer Yellow CH dipotassium is a high-intensity fluorescent probe containing free hydrazyl groups. Lucifer Yellow CH can react with fatty aldehydes at room temperature. Lucifer 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. Lucifer yellow CH displays the maximum excitation/emission of 430 nm/540 nm, respectively.

Guidelines (Following is our recommended protocol. This protocol only provides a guideline, and should be modified according to your specific needs).
When Lucifer Yellow CH dipotassium salt is used in neuronal tracing experiments, microinjection is recommended[3].
Note:1. It is recommended to store the stock solution at -20°C or -80°C away from light and avoid repetitive freeze-thaw cycles.
2. Please adjust the concentration of Lucifer Yellow CH (dipotassium salt) working solution according to the actual situation.
3. This product is for R&D use only, not for drug, household, or other uses.
4. For your safety and health, please wear a lab coat and disposable gloves to operate.
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
