Use of nile red for the rapid in situ quantitation of lipids on thin-layer chromatograms
We describe the use of the fluorescent dye nile red, 9-diethylamino-5H-benzo[alpha]phenoxazine-5-one, as a general-purpose reagent for the rapid detection and quantitation of a wide variety of lipids and other hydrophobic compounds separated by thin-layer chromatography. After samples are applied to...
