BDP 630/650 is a borondipyrromethene fluorophore that has a high molar extinction coefficient, excellent quantum yield, and a relatively long lifetime of the excited state. Due to it, this fluorophore is useful for fluorescence polarization assays that allow to detect binding between molecules. This is an amine reactive NHS ester. It contains an aminohexanoyl linker between the fluorophore and the reactive group.

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.
