BDP® TR NHS ester

This product is discontinued, and no longer available.
 We recommend BDP® TR-X-NHS ester as a substitute

This product will be discontinued soon in favor of BDP TR X NHS ester. We may still have some material in stock (please see availability above).

BDP TR is a bright and photostable borondipyrromethene dye, which is especially suitable for microscopy applications. The dye has a long excited state lifetime, and is therefore is useful for fluorescence polarization assays. Its large two-photon cross section makes this dye useful for two-photon spectroscopy.

This NHS ester is an amine-reactive form of the dye.
