I'm seeing aggregates in my thawed LipidTox stain solutions. Is this okay?
After thawing LipidTOX Red phospholipidosis detection reagent, some minute aggregates might be observed in the solution. They usually will disappear if the vial is incubated in a 37 degrees C water bath for 5 minutes. These aggregates do not affect the performance of the assay.
Any aggregates that remain after the stain is diluted in media are removed by 0.2 µm filtration before the labeling solution is added to the cells, as recommended in the protocol.

'Macrophage foam cells formed during uptake of atherogenic lipoproteins are a hallmark of atherosclerotic lesion development. In this study, human macrophages were incubated with two prototypic atherogenic LDL modifications enzymatically degraded LDL (E-LDL) and oxidized LDL (Ox-LDL) prepared from the same donor LDL. To detect differences in macrophage lipid storage, ... More

'Phospholipidosis (PLD) is characterized by the excessive intracellular accumulation of phospholipids. It is well established that a large number of cationic amphiphilic drugs have the potential to induce PLD. In the present study, we describe two facile in vitro methods to determine the PLD-inducing potential of a molecule. The first ... More
