BODIPY 581/591 C11 (solution) 

BODIPY 581/591 C11 (solution) is a BODIPY borofluoroprene derivative with good light stability and low fluorescence artifacts. BODIPY 581/591 C11 can be used for study lipid peroxidation and antioxidant properties in living cells, or detect ferroptosis by reaction with hydroxyl radicals. BODIPY 581/591 C11 is emitted at 591 nm (reduced prototype), or redshifted to 510 nm (oxidized type). The excitation wavelengths were 581 nm (reduced prototype) and 500 nm (oxidized type)^[1].
Solution Concentration: 2 mM

Stock solution
It is recommended to store the stock solution at -20°C -80°C away from light and avoid repetitive freeze-thaw cycles.
1.2 Preparation of BODIPY 581/591 C11 working solution
Dilute the stock solution in serum-free cell culture medium or PBS. The corresponding stock solution can be diluted according to the actual situation. Note that if the solvent is DMSO, the cytotoxicity of DMSO must be considered, and a solvent control should be prepared; if the solvent is pure water, the working solution needs to be filtered and sterilized before adding cells.
Note: Please adjust the concentration of BODIPY 581/591 C11 working solution according to the actual situation.

Cell staining
2.1 Cell preparation:
For suspension cells: Centrifuge at 1000 g at 4°C for 3-5 minutes and then discard the supernatant. Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
For adherent cells: Discard the cell culture medium, and add trypsin to dissociate cells to make a single-cell suspension. Centrifuge at 1000 g at 4°C for 3-5 minutes and then discard the supernatant. Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
2.2 Add 1 mL of BODIPY 581/591 C11 working solution, and then incubate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2.3 Centrifuge at 400 g at 4°C for 3-4 minutes and then discard the supernatant.
2.4 Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
2.5 Resuspend cells with serum-free cell culture medium or PBS, and then detect by fluorescence microscope or flow cytometer.

Precautions
1. It is recommended to store the stock solution at -20℃ or -80℃ away from light and avoid repetitive freeze-thaw cycles.
2. Please adjust the concentration of BODIPY 581/591 C11 working solution according to the actual situation.
3. This product is for R&D use only, not for drug, household, or other uses.
4. For your safety and health, please wear a lab coat and disposable gloves to operate.
