BODIPY TMR-X
BODIPY TMR-X (Ex-Max 541 nm/Em-Max 569 nm)
BODIPY TMR-X is used as a lipophilic probe for polar and neutral lipids typically used to detect oil and nonpolar lipid droplets in live or fixed cells. It has an excitation peak at 541 nm and an emission peak at 569 nm. The succinimidyl ester form of this dye can be used to conjugate hydrophobic proteins or lipids.
