Description

4,4-Difluoro-8-Benzoato-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 is valued for its excellent photophysical properties, including high fluorescence quantum yield and photostability, making it a critical component in advanced research and development. It is primarily sought after by researchers and manufacturers in the life sciences, materials science, and analytical chemistry sectors for developing sensitive detection systems and novel functional materials.

Application

• Fluorescent Labeling and Probes: Used as a reactive dye for labeling biomolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, lipids) in fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, and bioimaging applications.
• Chemical Sensors: Serves as a core fluorophore in the development of selective chemosensors for detecting ions, small molecules, and pH changes due to its environment-sensitive emission.
• Material Science & OLEDs: Employed in the research and fabrication of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and other photonic devices as an electron-transport or emissive layer material.
• Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) Research: Investigated as a potential photosensitizer candidate for cancer treatment and antimicrobial applications due to its ability to generate reactive oxygen species upon light irradiation.
• Laser Dyes: Utilized as a gain medium in tunable dye lasers because of its narrow emission bands and high lasing efficiency.
• Analytical Chemistry Standards: Acts as a fluorescence standard for instrument calibration and quantitative analysis due to its well-defined spectral properties.
