Can I use methanol or acetone for fixation of cells stained with BODIPY FL LDL?

If the BODIPY FL LDL is applied to live cells first and then fixed, the use of methanol or acetone fixation is not recommended. Exposure to alcohols, acetone, and other organic solvents can dissociate the BODIPY FL dye from the LDL.
