Laurdan is a membrane-permeable fluorescent probe that can be used to monitor lipid membrane dynamics like membrane fluidity and phase states. Laurdan is unique in its ability to differentiate between gel and liquid-crystalline membrane phases- Its emission spectrum shifts due to dipolar relaxation. The absorption for this probe is ~366 nm and the emission is ~440 nm in ordered membranes and ~490 nm in disordered membranes. Laurdan can be used to image lipid rafts, and for live-cell imaging.
