BODIPY 493/503

BODIPY 493/503 is a lipophilic fluorescent probe that localizes to polar lipids and can be used to label cellular neutral lipid contents, particularly those localized to lipid droplets, in live and fixed cells. BODIPY 493/503 is compatible with epifluorescent, confocal, and two-photon microscopy, as well as flow cytometry. It displays excitation/emission maxima of 493/503 nm, respectively, and can be used for live and fixed cell applications.Formal Name: (T-4)-[2-[1-(3,5-dimethyl-2H-pyrrol-2-ylidene-kappaN)ethyl]-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrolato-kappaN]difluoro-boron.
