Description

4,4-Difluoro-8(3'-Aminophenyl)-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 excellent photostability, high fluorescence quantum yield, and the reactive primary amine group, which enables covalent conjugation to biomolecules and other substrates. It is primarily needed by researchers and manufacturers in the life sciences, analytical chemistry, and materials science sectors for applications such as fluorescence labeling, bioimaging, and sensor development.

Application

• Fluorescent Labeling Reagent: Covalent conjugation of the amine group to proteins, antibodies, nucleic acids, or nanoparticles for bioassays and diagnostics.
• Live-Cell and Tissue Imaging: Used as a photostable fluorescent probe for confocal microscopy and flow cytometry due to its bright emission.
• Chemical Sensing: Development of fluorescence-based sensors for detecting ions, small molecules, or changes in the local microenvironment.
• Materials Science: Incorporation into polymers, dendrimers, or solid supports to create functional fluorescent materials.
• Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) Research: Investigated as a potential photosensitizer candidate in preclinical studies.
• Analytical Chemistry: Serving as a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or capillary electrophoresis (CE) standard for method development.
