Invitrogen BODIPY FL dye is a bright, green-fluorescent dye with excitation and emission similar to fluorescein (FITC) or Alexa Fluor 488 dye. It has a high extinction coefficient and fluorescence quantum yield and is relatively insensitive to solvent polarity and pH change.

With the most fluorescein-like spectra of the BODIPY dyes, the green-fluorescent BODIPY FL fluorophore (excitation/emission maxima ~503/512 nm) has several characteristics that make it potentially superior to fluorescein in some applications. These include:

The green fluorescent fatty acid, BODIPY™ FL C16 can be used as a synthetic precursor to a wide variety of fluorescent phospholipids. Unlike fluorophores like pyrene, DPH and NBD, BODIPY™ dyes are relatively environment insensitive …

BODIPY-FL is a green fluorescent dye that can be used to label probes or primers. BODIPY-FL fluorescence can be quenched after interacting with uniquely positioned guanine, making it useful for quantifying specific DNA or RNA molecules.

The advantages of BODIPY are their low photodegradation, low toxicity and polarity, high biocompatibility, charge neutrality, and high fluorescence quantum yield, all of which make BODIPY effective markers.

BODIPY FL-NHS ester is a versatile amine sensitive fluorescent labeling reagent that can be used to tag antibodies, proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids. BODIPY (boron-dipyrromethene) dyes are known for their excellent photophysical properties, including high fluorescence quantum yield, good photostability, and wide spectral tunability.

BODIPY (dipyrrometheneboron) fluorophores are non-polar, highly photostable, and exhibit a high fluorescence quantum yield, making them suitable for confocal and two-photon fluorescence microscopy, with excitation and emission at 488 nm and 510 - 520 nm.

BODIPY™ FL vancomycin, which contains a single BODIPY™ dye per vancoymycin molecule, is a green-fluorescent analog of this important antibiotic, which is active against gram-positive bacteria, including entereococci.

BODIPY FL Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate is a water soluble analog of PI(4,5)P2 (PIP2) labeled with the green fluorophore, Bodipy ®-FL, at the sn-1 position. Phosphoinositides (PIPns) are minor components of cellular membranes but are …

The NHS ester (or succinimidyl ester) of BODIPY FL is the most popular tool for conjugating the dye to a protein or antibody. NHS esters can be used to label the primary amines (R-NH 2 ) of proteins, amine-modified oligonucleotides, and other amine-containing molecules.
