BODIPY-FL

Description

BODIPY-FL is a green fluorescent dye that can be used to label probes or primers. BODIPY-FL fluorescence can be quenched after interacting with uniquely positioned guanine, making it useful for quantifying specific DNA or RNA molecules. BODIPY-FL-labeled sphingolipid analogs can be used to investigate sphingolipid internalization, transport, and endocytosis in mouse embryonic stem cells. BODIPY-FL-labeled monoterpenes can quickly penetrate bacteria, mammalian, and fungal cells, allowing for the detection of characteristics of a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as pathogenic fungi. The maximum absorption wavelength of BODIPY-FL is 505 nm, and the maximum emission wavelength is 513 nm.
