Product Data Sheet
BODIPY 558/568 C12
Catalog No. A24586
BODIPY 558/568 C12 is a fluorescent lipid probe based on the BODIPY (boron-dipyrromethene) dye structure. BODIPY dyes are small-molecule fluorophores characterized by strong ultraviolet-visible absorption, sharp fluorescence emission peaks, high quantum yields, and remarkable photostability. They are largely insensitive to environmental polarity and pH, maintaining consistent fluorescence under various physiological conditions.
BODIPY 558/568 C12, due to its lipophilic alkyl chain, readily permeates cell membranes and specifically localizes to neutral lipid compartments, enabling selective staining of lipid droplets in both live and fixed cells. It serves as a reliable fluorescent marker for studying lipid metabolism, lipid droplet dynamics, and cellular lipid distribution. The dye exhibits maximum excitation and emission wavelengths at 558 nm and 568 nm, respectively.
