LipoFluor-ER1™ is a cell-permeant stain for the endoplasmic reticulum. LipoFluor-ER1™ passively diffuses across the plasma membrane into the cell, stains at low concentrations and has minimal cytotoxic effects.
Comparison of TR-601-ER1 with ER-Tracker (upper panel). TR-601-ER1 can be used to stain the endoplasmic reticulum in live and fixed cells (lower panel).
LipoFluor-ER1™ is a cell-permeant stain for the endoplasmic reticulum. LipoFluor-ER1™ passively diffuses across the plasma membrane into the cell, stains at low concentrations and has minimal cytotoxic effects. It can be used as a real-time imaging reagent which can be imaged within minutes of addition and has minimal photobleaching. LipoFluor-ER1™ is easily washed from cells, and therefore is ideal for protocols which require intermittent monitoring of endoplasmic reticulum structures. This tracing reagent can be used on live and fixed samples and is compatible with other dyes. LipoFluor-ER1™ has a large Stokes Shift, shows excellent resistance to photobleaching and demonstrates low cytotoxicity.

Fluorescent imaging of the endoplasmic reticulum compartment.Sample types: live cells, fixed cells (4% paraformaldehyde), and tissue (frozen only). Microscopy: Epifluorescence microscopy: YES, Confocal microscopy: YES, Multiphoton imaging: YES, Infrared spectroscopy: NO, Raman spectroscopy: NO; Visualization: Ex/Em: 405 nm / 570 nm. The typical working concentration is 50µM (1:1000 dilution) in an appropriate buffer or cell culture medium. Biosensis recommends that the end user determine optimal dilutions/concentrations.
