c-laurdan

C-Laurdan, a fluorescent probe for imaging lipid rafts with environmentally sensitive fluorescence, exhibits strong photostability under two-photon excitation and is suitable for single and two-photon fluorescence imaging to detect lipid membrane properties such as membrane lateral organization and various membrane-associated processes. C-Laurdan is used in biophysical membrane research to study lipid raft organization, membrane fluidity, and phase behavior in cellular and model membrane systems under fluorescence microscopy platforms.
