Is BODIPY vegan?

Q: Is BODIPY vegan?

Yes, BODIPY is vegan. BODIPY (boron–dipyrromethene) is a class of synthetic fluorescent dyes with the core formula C9H7BN2F2, consisting of a boron difluoride group joined to a dipyrromethene group. BODIPY dyes are widely used in biological imaging, fluorescence spectroscopy, and as laser dyes due to their high molar extinction coefficients and quantum yields.
