Description

Bodipy 558/568 C12 CAS NO 158757-84-7 is a long-chain alkylated derivative of the versatile boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) fluorophore, engineered for superior lipid membrane integration and photostability. This compound is critical for researchers and developers requiring precise, long-term fluorescence tracking in hydrophobic environments. It is primarily utilized in advanced life science research, material science, and the development of diagnostic assays where robust, environment-sensitive probes are essential.

Application

• Lipid Membrane and Biomembrane Labeling: Ideal for fluorescently tagging lipid bilayers, liposomes, and cellular membranes due to its C12 alkyl chain, which promotes deep integration.
• Fluorescent Cell Staining & Imaging: Used as a photostable probe for long-term live-cell imaging and tracking of membrane dynamics and organelle structures.
• Polymer and Material Science: Incorporated into hydrophobic polymers, nanoparticles, and micelles as a fluorescent tracer to study material distribution, degradation, and interactions.
• Biomolecule Conjugation: Serves as a hydrophobic anchor for creating fluorescent conjugates with proteins, peptides, or other biomolecules for assay development.
• Environmental Sensing Probes: Employed in the design of sensors for viscosity, polarity, and micro-environmental changes within cells or synthetic systems.
• Flow Cytometry & High-Content Screening: Acts as a reliable fluorescent marker in automated cell analysis and drug discovery screening platforms.
