Laurdan A85582 (Legacy 850582) 1-(6-(dimethylamino)naphthalen-2-yl)dodecan-1-one
Laurdan is a fluorescent probe that is highly sensitive to the polarity of its environment. This sensitivity results in the probe’s emission spectra varying from environment to environment. Due to this key characteristic, it makes Laurdan an excellent tool for studying cell membrane and lipid bilayer dynamics.
