Lipid Quantification
Compared to that of protein, lipids have a uniquely high refractive index increment (RII) value which can be used to distinguish them from most other cell compartments in terms of RI distribution.
HT is a better way to analyze lipid
Label-free
HT imaging eliminates pre-treatment process and saves time
Accurate
Lipid volume and weights are calculated based on 3D refractive index values
In situ single cell imaging
Lipids within cells are imaged and calculated at a single-cell level
Live-cell
No phototoxicity from fluorescent probes means cells remain healthy for even long-term imaging
