Forte Blue™ DHPE

Forte Blue™ DHPE is the same molecule to Marina Blue® 1,2-Dihexadecanoyl-sn-Glycero-3-Phosphoethanolamine (Marina Blue® DHPE, Marina Blue® is the trademark of ThermoFisher). It is a phospholipid that is labeled on the head group with the bright, blue-fluorescent Forte Blue™ dye. Forte Blue™ DHPE is optimally excited by the intense 365 nm spectral line of the mercury-arc lamp/UV lasers, and exhibits bright blue fluorescence emission near 460 nm. Significantly, the low pKa value of this newly developed 7-hydroxycoumarin derivative is 2“3 log units lower than that of the parent 7-hydroxycoumarin analogs. Forte Blue™ DHPE is expected to be strongly fluorescent in membranes, even at neutral pH.
