General description

Difluoro{2-(1-(3,5-dimethyl-2H-pyrrol-2-ylidene-N)ethyl)-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrolato-N}boron is an organoboron composed of dipyrromethene with a boron in the center. It is a fluorescent dye with a high quantum yield and an ability to absorb small molecules with sharp peaks in the ultraviolet region.[1]

Application

BODIPY can be infused in silicon oil to impart fluorescence which can be used in light microscopy for cell sheets.[2] It can be used in labelling of mouse pre-adipocyte 3t3-L1 cells.[3] It may also be used in combination with bipyridine copper based complex which can be used in the sensing of nitrogen oxide(NOx) in air and living cells.[4]
BODIPY laser dyes are used to generate fluorescent conjugates of proteins, nucleotides, oligonucleotides and dextrans, and to prepare fluorescent enzyme substrates, fatty acids, phospholipids, lipopolysaccharides, receptor ligands and polystyrene microspheres.
Also used for solid-state dye laser devices and organic solar cells.

    4 out of 5 stars.

    The product works well. However, there is no information on:
    1) Where the stock powder should be conserved until reconstitution? RT, 4C, -20C?
    2) Should it be reconstituted in ethanol, methanol, or DMSO? No indications on this, so I had to google it for other types of BODIPY..

    Please give more information on this.

    1. Response from MilliporeSigma:

      Thank you for your review. We recommend storing 790389 at room temperature. Solubility is not part of the specification for this product. According to literature, this chemical is soluble in methanol, DMSO, DMF, and chloroform. Although we have not tested it, 790389 should perform similarly to literature values since it is high purity. Solvent should be chosen based on the requirements of your application.
