Description and Uses
Lucifer Yellow CH is a highly sensitive yellow fluorescent dye widely used in neurobiology, cytology, and molecular biology for cell tracing, studying cell-cell interactions, and visualizing neurons. The dye is suitable for labeling both live and fixed preparations: it has low cytotoxicity, is retained in cells after fixation (e.g., with paraformaldehyde), and is compatible with most immunochemistry protocols. Lucifer Yellow CH has a high quantum yield, is resistant to photobleaching, and is, therefore, ideal for confocal and fluorescence microscopy.
The main dye application:
Working dye concentration: 1–5% (depending on protocol).
Lucifer yellow CH dipotassium salt has been used:
- to visualize cell morphology
- to assess intercellular communication activity through gap junction by scrape-loading assay
- as a component of the intracellular solution, which filled the dendrites for the visualization of neuronal morphology
- in the intracellular solution, to intracellularly label recorded neurons
