BDP R6G NHS ester is an amine-reactive borondipyrromethene dye (an analog of BODIPY? R6G NHS ester) that has absorption and emission spectra similar to R6G. BDP R6G is a bright and photostable dye that exhibits long living fluorescence that has little pH dependence. Due to the long fluorescence lifetime, this dye is useful for fluorescence polarization assays, and for two-photon experiments.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
