Description

1-Palmitoyl-2-(Dipyrrometheneboron Difluoride)Undecanoyl-Sn-Glycero-3-Phosphocholine is a sophisticated, fluorescently labeled phospholipid probe designed for advanced membrane biophysics and cell biology research. This compound matters because it integrates a highly photostable BODIPY fluorophore directly into the lipid structure, enabling precise, non-perturbative tracking of lipid dynamics and membrane organization. Researchers in pharmaceutical development, biochemistry, and advanced materials science need this high-purity reagent for applications such as fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, and the study of lipid rafts, vesicle trafficking, and membrane fusion processes.

Application

• Fluorescent Cell Membrane Labeling: For real-time visualization of plasma membrane dynamics, endocytosis, and exocytosis in live-cell imaging.
• Lipid Raft and Microdomain Studies: As a probe to investigate the organization and fluidity of membrane microdomains due to its specific partitioning properties.
• Liposome and Model Membrane Research: Incorporation into liposomes and giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) for in vitro studies of membrane properties and interactions.
• Flow Cytometry Applications: Used to label cell membranes for high-throughput analysis and sorting based on membrane characteristics.
• Drug Delivery System Development: As a traceable component in the formulation and tracking of lipid-based nanoparticle drug carriers.
• Biophysical Assays: Employed in fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) or fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) experiments to measure lipid diffusion and interactions.
