BDP® FL C12 is a green fluorescent analog of lauric acid designed for studying lipid metabolism in living cells. The spectral properties (λExEm ≈ 503/512 nm) are compatible with standard FITC/GFP filter sets. Unlike many other fluorophores (e.g., pyrene, DPH, or NBD), BDP® FL C12 remains fluorescent in both aqueous and lipid environments.

Following uptake by cells, BDP® FL C12 is metabolized similarly to natural long-chain fatty acids and becomes incorporated into multiple lipid classes, including triglycerides, phospholipids, and cholesteryl esters. This enables monitoring of fatty acid uptake, lipid droplet and peroxisome formation, lipid trafficking, and metabolic remodeling across a wide range of cell types without use of radioactive tracers[1,2,3].
