Description
An orange reagent used as a fluorescent indicator for the presence of oils and fats. Dichlorofluorescein (DCF) is available as a powder or a premixed solution of 0.2% in ethanol. The lipid environment can effect the fluorescence color; DCF fluoresces pink in saturated lipids and bright yellow in unsaturated lipids (Wolbers et al., 1990). Acrylics can give a positive result.
