BODIPY 630/650 X NHS ester

Amine reactive, red fluorescent labeling reagent that can be used to tag antibodies, proteins, peptides, lipids, and nucleic acids.

BODIPY-X 630/650-NHS ester, a derivative of Boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY), features a seven-atom aminohexanoyl spacer, is a versatile, amine-sensitive red fluorescent labeling reagent useful to tag antibodies, proteins, peptides, lipids, and nucleic acids. BODIPY 630/650 X is characterized by low toxicity and can be excited at approximately 630 nm, emitting fluorescence at around 650 nm. BODIPY 630/650X stands out due to its high molar extinction coefficient, impressive quantum yield, and an extended lifetime of its excited state. Furthermore, BODIPY-X 630/650 is notable for its brightness, remarkable photostability, and distinct emission spectrum. These properties minimize spectral overlap with other fluorophores and enhance its utility in multiplex imaging, where multiple fluorophores are used simultaneously.
