This chemical is widely used as a fluorescent labeling reagent in biochemical and cellular research. Its primary application is in the conjugation of biomolecules, such as proteins, peptides, and antibodies, due to its reactive NHS ester group, which forms stable amide bonds with primary amines. The BODIPY fluorophore provides strong fluorescence, making it ideal for imaging and tracking biological processes in live cells or fixed samples. It is particularly useful in fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence assays, enabling the visualization and quantification of target molecules with high sensitivity. Additionally, its photostability and bright emission make it suitable for long-term imaging studies.
