Method/Kit:
Lonza AdipoRed Assay Reagent (Lonza: PT-7009)

Supplier Lonza
Measurement Type Fluorescence Intensity
Description The AdipoRed Assay Reagent is designed for assessing the effect of compounds on the differentiation of preadipocytes or on lipid utilization in mature adipocytes. The lipophilic AdipoRed Assay Reagent specifically partitions into the fat droplets of differentiated adipocytes and fluoresces at 572 nm.

The assay quantifies the accumulation of intracellular triglycerides. (Lonza)

Target/Analytes with this Method/Kit
Target/Analyte Short Name Description
Lipid Droplets LDs Lipid droplets (LDs) are unique intracellular organelles that are mainly constituted by neutral lipids (triglycerides, sterol esters). As such they serve as the main site of energy storage in the cell. (Vanni 2017)
