BDP TR is a bright and photostable fluorophore for ROX/Texas red channel. It is moderately hydrophobic, has relatively long lifetime of the excited state, and significant two photon cross section. This carboxylic acid derivative can be used for the labeling of alcohols by Steglich esterification, or in non-conjugated form (non-activated carboxy group can be considered inert for applications that do not require conjugation).

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.
