Description
BODIPY-Cholesterol is a fluorescently labeled cholesterol analog featuring the BODIPY fluorophore, ideal for tracking and studying cholesterol dynamics within lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). Cholesterol is a critical component in LNP formulations, providing essential structural integrity and stability to lipid bilayers. Conjugation with BODIPY enables visualization of cellular uptake and intracellular trafficking of LNPs, facilitating real-time monitoring in various research applications. BODIPY-Cholesterol exhibits an excitation/emission profile of 480/508 nm, making it compatible with a wide range of fluorescence detection systems.
