BODIPY™ FL C₁₆ (4,4-Difluoro-5,7-Dimethyl-4-Bora-3a,4a-Diaza-s-Indacene-3-Hexadecanoic Acid)

The green fluorescent fatty acid, BODIPY™ FL C₁₆ can be used as a synthetic precursor to a wide variety of fluorescent phospholipids. Unlike fluorophores like pyrene, DPH and NBD, BODIPY™ dyes are relatively environment insensitive and is fluorescent in both aqueous and lipid environments.

We recommend dissolving in high-quality anhydrous DMSO to attain a stock concentration of 1 to 10 mM.
