Biochem/physiol Actions

BODIPY FL C3 carboxylic acid is a high-performance labeling reagent distinguished by its core BODIPY fluorophore, which provides exceptionally bright (ε ≈ 85,000 M⁻¹cm⁻¹, Φ > 0.9), photostable, and sharp green fluorescence (λex/λem ~503/509-512 nm). Bodipy FL’s key strategic advantage is the remarkable stability of its fluorescence across wide variations in environmental pH and polarity, overcoming a primary limitation of traditional dyes. The integrated C3 carboxylic acid linker serves as a versatile chemical handle, enabling not only direct covalent attachment to primary amines on biomolecules but also serving as a key precursor for synthesizing advanced tools, such as clickable biorthogonal probes. This versatility yields intensely fluorescent and highly stable conjugates ideal for quantitative microscopy, flow cytometry, and other demanding bio-imaging applications.
