AdipoRed adipogenesis assay reagent

The AdipoRed adipogenesis assay reagent can be used for assessing the effect of compounds on the differentiation of preadipocytes or on lipid utilisation in mature adipocytes.

The lipophilic reagent specifically partitions into the fat droplets of differentiated adipocytes and fluoresces at 572 nm.

The objective, high-throughput, homogeneous fluorescence-based assay quantifies the accumulation of intracellular triglycerides and provides significant advantages to drug discovery efforts in the field of obesity and diabetes.

Claimed to be more sensitive than other methods, such as the Oil Red O assay, it is faster and easier than Northern and Western blots.

Users simply remove cell culture medium, add premixed reagent and read in a standard fluorometer. Process an entire 96- or 384-well plate in as little as 20 min.
