Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
FluoroMyelin is a lipid stain, any lipid can be stained by it but there is a higher lipid content in myelin that it will stain much more intensely than other membranes.
We have only tested them on mouse brain cryosections. They might work on neurons in culture, but would likely stain the membrane and there would be some endocytosis of the stains. Myelin sheaths may show enhanced intensity.
We have only tested them on mouse brain cryosections.
They are proprietary lipid stains that stain myelin, but are not neuron specific.
