A technique for analysis of the data on the packing density (phase state, lipid order) for the membrane lipid phase has been elaborated on the basis of the programming language R.
The data are obtained by measuring the generalized polarization (GP) value of laurdan fluorescence.
Analysis of the density (ordering) data for the membrane lipid phase based on measuring the laurdan GP fluorescence may be used for identifying some more densely packed structures (rafts) in the membrane, in parallel with the analysis of lipids.
