BODIPY 500/510 C1, C12 is a BODIPY dye. BODIPY dye is a small molecule dye with strong UV absorption ability. Its fluorescence peak is relatively sharp and its quantum yield is high. It is relatively insensitive to the polarity and pH of the environment and, therefore, is relatively stable under different physiological conditions. Due to the asymmetry of its structure, BODIPY has a variety of analogue structural products. BODIPY lipid droplet dye can penetrate the cell membrane well into the interior of the cell and perform specific staining by localizing on the polar lipids in the cell. Therefore, the dye may be utilized to label living cells and fixed cells. excitation and emmission maximum (wavelength): 500/510 nm. Storage conditions: Store at -20°C away from light.

Guidelines for usage 1. Composition of the working solution for BODIPY 500/510 C1, C12 1.1 Hydrogenate 1 milligram of BODIPY 500/510 C1, C12 with 247 μL of anhydrous DMSO to prepare the stock solution. Employ a stock solution of 10 mM. Note: After aliquots, BODIPY 500/510 C1 and C12 storage solutions should be kept at -20°C or -80°C in the dark. 1.2 To prepare BODIPY 500 with 1-10 μM, the working solution holder is filled with pre-prepared serum-free cell culture medium or PBS. Please note that the concentration of BODIPY 500/510 C1, C12 working solution should be adjusted based on the specific circumstances. and prepared for action. 2. Suspended cell staining: 2.1 Centrifuge the cells, add PBS, and wash twice. The density of cells is 1×106/mL. 2.2 Add 1 mL BODIPY 500/510 C1, C12 working solution, and divide the group into work groups for a duration of 5 to 30 minutes. 2.3 Centrifuge for 3–4 minutes at 400 g, then remove the supernatant. 2.4 Wash the cells twice with PBS, giving them five minutes each time. 2.5 Re-suspend the cells in 1 milliliter of PBS or serum-free water, and use a flow cytometer or fluorescence microscope to observe. 3. Adherent cells that need to be stained: 3.1 Take off the coverslip; 3.2 Take the adherent cells out of the culture medium and aspirate any extra solution. 3.3 Pour 100 μL of the dye working solution into the cells and shake to fully coat them. Hold off for five to thirty minutes. 3.4 Take out the dye working solution, give the cells two to three aspiration washes for five minutes each, and use a flow cytometer or fluorescence microscope to monitor. Conditions for storage: Keep for a year at -20°C and out of direct sunlight. Observations 1. Please modify the BODIPY 500/510 C1, C12 working fluid concentration and working time to reflect the current circumstances. 2. For dramatic control, it is advised to use experimental cells, and to conduct further studies after the cosmetics have been mixed with 30 μM oleic acid soap for eight hours. 3. This product may not be used for clinical diagnosis or treatment, nor may it be included into food or medication. It is intended solely for professional use in scientific study. 4. Please wear a lab coat and a disposable snapper during the procedure for your own health and safety.

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples. Injection Formulations (e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80： Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
