Description

1-Palmitoyl-2-(Dipyrrometheneboron Difluoride)Undecanoyl-Sn-Glycero-3-Phosphoethanolamine CAS NO 1246355-64-5 is a specialized, fluorescently labeled phospholipid derivative, engineered for advanced research and diagnostic applications. This compound is critical for creating fluorescent cell membrane probes and lipid-based sensors due to its integrated BODIPY fluorophore. It is primarily utilized by researchers and product developers in biochemistry, cell biology, and diagnostic assay development for real-time visualization and tracking of lipid dynamics.

Application

• Fluorescent Cell Membrane Labeling: Incorporation into lipid bilayers for real-time visualization of membrane structure, fluidity, and trafficking under microscopy.
• Lipidomics & Biomarker Research: Use as a tracer or internal standard in mass spectrometry-based lipid analysis to study metabolic pathways.
• Liposome & Nanoparticle Functionalization: Conjugation to drug delivery vehicles (e.g., liposomes) to enable tracking of cellular uptake and biodistribution.
• Diagnostic Assay Development: Serving as a key component in fluorescence-based assays for detecting enzymes like phospholipases or for studying protein-lipid interactions.
• Model Membrane Studies: Preparation of artificial membranes (e.g., giant unilamellar vesicles) to investigate fundamental biophysical properties in a controlled environment.
• Apoptosis & Cell Signaling Research: Monitoring phosphatidylserine exposure and other membrane phospholipid rearrangements during cellular processes.

Quality Control

Our production of this high-purity fluorescent lipid adheres to stringent quality protocols. Each batch is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, mass spectrometry (MS), and NMR to confirm structural identity, fluorophore integrity, and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, fluorescence properties, and solvent content is provided with every shipment to ensure consistency for your critical research applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to maintain stability. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive. Allow the sealed vial to warm to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation and moisture ingress.
