BODIPY 558/568 C12 is a BODIPY dye, a small molecule dye known for strong ultraviolet absorption, a relatively sharp fluorescence peak, and high quantum yield. It is relatively insensitive to environmental polarity and pH, and stable under various physiological conditions. Due to its structural asymmetry, it yields diverse structural products. BODIPY lipid droplet dyes can penetrate cell membranes, localizing neutral lipids within cells to specifically stain lipid droplets.
