    Product Description

    PBD-BODIPY is a probe for the spectrophotometric measurement of autoxidation reactions.1 Co-autoxidation of the PBD-BODIPY signal carrier and a hydrocarbon co-substrate can be quantified by monitoring loss of absorbance at 591 nm.1,2 PBD-BODIPY has been used to measure the activity of radical-trapping antioxidants in cell-free assays. It has also been used as a fluorescent probe for the detection of epoxidation activity.3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
