Borondipyrromethene (BDP) dyes are high performance flurophores that exhibit excellent photostability and brightness. A number of BDP dyes is available that are tuned to match excitation and emission channels of classical xanthene and cyanine dyes.
BDP R6G is matched to R6G dye excitation and emission wavelengths. The fluorophore is an excellent alternative to R6G for various applications, including microscopy, fluorescence polarization assays, and two photon experiments.
Azide functional group allows to conjugate the fluorophore easily with various biomolecules, small molecules, and polymers using CuAAC or spAAC Click chemistry reactions.
