First, a crude or purified lipid source is applied to a 96-well plate. Then organic solvents are removed, followed by the addition of the fluorescent reagent. Lipid binding to the fluorescent reagent results in an increase in fluorescence that is easily detected on a microplate reader.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis kit has a detection sensitivity of 3.9 mg\/dL and is at least 10 times more sensitive than the Vanillin method.\u003cbr\u003e\nOther Notes\u003cbr\u003e\nLipids are a diverse group of molecules that include monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides, fats, sterols, and others. Not only do lipids define and preserve cellular membrane integrity, but they are also involved in cellular processes such as membrane trafficking, signal transduction, apoptosis, and energy storage. Perturbation in the metabolism of lipids has been linked to many diseases such as cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and coronary heart disease. In order to study lipids, they must often be extracted first from tissues or cellular cultures and then quantified. Some methods for lipid quantification have been described that are quite sensitive, however they require expensive equipment such as an HPLC machine, light scattering detection technology, or a latroscan TLC-FID analyzer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-+4°C\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843630551209,"sku":"ab242307","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab242307","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
