I used one of your FluoroMyelin stains and noticed it stains cells other than glial cells. Is there something wrong with the product?
FluoroMyelin is a lipid stain, any lipid can be stained by it but there is a higher lipid content in myelin that it will stain much more intensely than other membranes.
Can the FluoroMyelin stains be used on neurons in culture?
We have only tested them on mouse brain cryosections. They might work on neurons in culture, but would likely stain the membrane and there would be some endocytosis of the stains. Myelin sheaths may show enhanced intensity.
