XFD750 alkyne

XFD750, manufactured by AAT Bioquest, is a bright near-infrared fluorescent dye structurally similar to Alexa Fluor(TM) 750 (Thermo Fisher). It is efficiently excited by the 633 nm laser line and is compatible with the Cy7 filter set, making it well-suited for applications such as fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. The dye demonstrates excellent aqueous solubility and maintains pH stability across a broad range (pH 4-10), ensuring reliable and reproducible fluorescence signals under diverse experimental conditions. Its long-wavelength emission effectively reduces background autofluorescence, enhancing signal-to-noise ratios in complex biological samples, particularly in tissue imaging. Furthermore, XFD750 is widely utilized in stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM), providing exceptional performance in both dSTORM and nSTORM super-resolution imaging techniques. The alkyne derivative of XFD750 is widely used for labeling azides on peptides, antibodies, and other biomolecules via click chemistry. It participates in copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) with azide-containing molecules.
