BDP 576/589 azide is a boron dipyrromethene dye. This hydrophobic dye has high quantum yield and long excited-state lifetime (about 5 nanoseconds). It can be used for measuring fluorescence lifetime and fluorescence polarization and in two-photon laser scanning microscopy. Azide moiety allows quick and effective labeling and detection of terminal alkynes via a copper-catalyzed click reaction (CuAAC) or of strained cyclooctynes via a copper-free click chemistry reaction (SPAAC). Mild reaction conditions are suitable for most biomolecules, cells, and tissues.
