Description

4,4’-Bis(2-butyloctyloxy)-p-quaterphenyl (BPQ) is a fluorescent dye that emits fluorescence in the near infrared region. It has shown to be a potential optical sensor for detecting fatty acids and other molecules in skin cells. BPQ can be used as an optical probe to measure water vapor and amines in the environment. In addition, BPQ is activated by radiation, which can lead to DNA damage or cell death. This chemical is also capable of polymerizing with glycan molecules to form a film on a substrate. The film can then be used as a molecular recognition element for identifying solutes by their molecular weight and shape.
