Nile Red

Nile Red is a specialized dye used in scientific research to detect and visualize fats and other oily substances. It glows brightly under specific lighting, making it easier to study where fats are located in cells or materials. This property helps researchers understand processes like fat storage, cell health, or pollution. Nile Red is valued for its ability to selectively stain lipids, providing clear, vivid images that reveal the presence and distribution of fats without damaging the sample. Its use enhances our understanding of biological functions and environmental conditions related to lipids.
