Used extensively in fluorescence-based applications due to its high quantum yield and photostability. Commonly employed as a fluorescent dye in biological imaging and microscopy to label and track cellular components. Its bright emission in the visible spectrum makes it suitable for flow cytometry, enabling the analysis and sorting of cells. Additionally, it serves as a marker in molecular biology techniques like fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to detect specific DNA sequences. Also utilized in the development of biosensors and optoelectronic devices due to its efficient light absorption and emission properties.
