Lysochrome
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A lysochrome is a soluble dye used for biochemical staining of triglycerides, fatty acids, and lipoproteins. Lysochromes such as Sudan IV bind to the lipid in a substrate and show up as colored regions. The dye does not stick to any other substrates, so a quantification or qualification of lipid presence can be obtained.
