    Product Description

    BODIPY 503/512 is a lipophilic, amine-reactive fluorescent probe.1 It has been used to label oligonucleotide probes and primers for the quantitation of DNA and RNA by PCR and to monitor the uptake and trafficking of BODIPY-labeled proteins and other compounds within cells by fluorescence microscopy.2,3,4,1 BODIPY 503/512 has also been used to identify and sort adipocytes from mouse white and brown adipose tissue by flow cytometry.5 It displays excitation/emission maxima of 503/512 nm, respectively.1

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
