Description

4,4-Difluoro-8(3',4'-Dihydroxylphenyl)-1,3,5,7-Tetramethyl-4-Bora-3A,4A-Diaza-S-Indacene, 97% is a high-purity, functionalized BODIPY (boron-dipyrromethene) dye derivative. This compound matters for its exceptional fluorescence properties, which are highly tunable by its specific substitution pattern, offering bright emission and excellent photostability. It is primarily needed by researchers and manufacturers in the life sciences, material science, and analytical chemistry sectors for applications such as fluorescent labeling, sensor development, and optoelectronic materials.

Application

• Fluorescent Probes & Sensors: Used as a core fluorophore for developing highly sensitive and selective chemical and biological sensors, particularly for detecting metal ions or reactive oxygen species due to its dihydroxylphenyl moiety.
• Bioimaging & Cell Labeling: Serves as a vital tool in fluorescence microscopy for staining cellular components, tracking biomolecules, and studying dynamic processes within live or fixed cells.
• Protein & Antibody Conjugation: The functional groups allow for covalent attachment to proteins, antibodies, or other biomolecules, creating stable fluorescent conjugates for immunoassays and flow cytometry.
• Material Science & OLEDs: Acts as an active component in the development of advanced materials, including organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and light-harvesting arrays, due to its efficient light emission.
• Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) Research: Investigated as a potential photosensitizer in PDT for cancer treatment, where its light absorption can be used to generate reactive species that destroy targeted cells.
• Analytical Chemistry Standards: Employed as a calibration standard or reference compound in chromatographic (HPLC) and spectroscopic methods to ensure analytical accuracy.
