Dear All,

I am working on Confocal Scanning Laser Fluorescent Microscopy. I need to
detect the oil droplets forming a network to study the microstructure of
casein acid gels. I need to find a fluorescent dye soluble in the mineral
oil that I am using (n-tetradecane). So far, I know that Nile Red is
suitable but it is too expensive (£120/ g) and I need a rather big amount of
it to prepare the emulsions. Therefore I would need other alternative dye,
suitable for mineral oil and at a more reasonable price to use a great
amount of it.

I would be grateful if anyone could provide me with any information or
commercial company to make an order as soon as possible,
Thanks very much.

Lara Matia.
