BODIPY 493/503 methyl bromide 

Cat. No.: HY-D1614 Purity: ≥98.0%
COA Handling Instructions

BODIPY493/503 methyl bromide is a BODIPY dye. BODIPY dye is a small molecule dye with strong ultraviolet absorption ability, its fluorescence peak is relatively sharp, and the quantum yield is high. They are relatively insensitive to the polarity and pH of the environment and are relatively stable under different physiological conditions. Due to its structural asymmetry, BODIPY derives a variety of structural products. BODIPY lipid droplet dyes can well pass through the cell membrane into the cell, and localize the polar lipids in the cell to specifically stain the lipid droplets, which can be used for labeling of live cells and fixed cells. Maximum excitation/emission wavelength: 493/503 nm.

For research use only. We do not sell to patients.

In Vitro

General Protocol
1. Preparation of BODIPY493/503 methyl bromide working solution
1.1 Preparation of the stock solution
Dissolve 1 mg BODIPY493/503 methyl bromide in 293.3 μL DMSO to obtain 10 mM of stock solution.

1.2 Preparation of BODIPY493/503 methyl bromide working solution
Dilute the stock solution in serum-free cell culture medium or PBS to obtain 1-10 μM of working solution.
Note: Please adjust the concentration of BODIPY493/503 methyl bromide working solution according to the actual situation.
2. Cell staining
2.1 Suspension cells (6-well plate)
a. Centrifuge at 1000 g at 4°C for 3-5 min and then discard the supernatant. Wash twice with PBS, 5 min each time.The cell density is 1×106/mL.
b. Add 1 mL of working solution, and then incubate at room temperature for 5-30 min.
c.Centrifuge at 400 g at 4°C for 3-4 min and then discard the supernatant.
d. Wash twice with PBS, 5 min each time.
e. Resuspend cells with serum-free cell culture medium or PBS. Observation by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.
2.2 Adherent cells
a. Culture adherent cells on sterile coverslips.
b. Remove the coverslip from the medium and aspirate excess medium.
c. Add 100 μL of working solution, gently shake it to completely cover the cells,and then incubate at room temperature for 5-30 min.
d. Wash twice with medium, 5 min each time. Observation by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.

Storage
-20°C, 1 year; Protect from light.
Precautions
1. Please adjust the concentration of BODIPY493/503 methyl bromide working solution according to the actual situation.
2. Experiments suggest a positive control, incubate the control group cells with 30 μM oleic acid for 8 h and then perform subsequent experiments.
3. This product is only for R&D use, not for drug, household, or others.
4. For your safety and health, please wear a lab coat and disposable gloves to operate.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: 1 mg/mL (2.93 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 1 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (10.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
