BDP 576/589 carboxylic acid - 25 MG

BDP 576/589, a boron dipyrromethene dye, is an analog of BODIPY™ 576/589 dye. This hydrophobic dye with emission in the orange spectrum range has high quantum yield and high molar extinction coefficient. It is suitable for experiments measuring fluorescence lifetime and fluorescence polarization. This fluorophore can be used whether in wide-field and confocal microscopy or in multiphoton microscopy because of its high two-photon absorption cross-section. This derivative is a carboxylic acid (contains a free COOH-group). It can be used as a reference control and for conjugation with an amino group after activation with carbodiimides.
