iFluor(TM) 594 maleimide

Ex: 592 nm. Em: 619 nm. Soluble in: DMSO. AAT Bioquest's iFluorT dyes are optimized for labeling proteins, in particular, antibodies. iFluorT 594 dyes have fluorescence excitation and emission maxima of ~590 nm and ~610 nm respectively. iFluorT 594 family has the spectral properties similar to those of Texas Red® and Alexa Fluor® 594 (Texas Red® and Alexa Fluor® 594 are the trademarks of Invitrogen). iFluorT 594 family is pH-independent from pH 3 to 11. These spectral characteristics make this new dye family an excellent alternative to Texas Red® and Alexa Fluor® 594.Compared to Texas Red®, iFluorT 594 is much easier to be conjugated with RPE with much higher conjugation yield, and the resulted RPE-iFluorT 594 tandem has better FRET efficiency.iFluorT 555 maleimide is reasonably stable and shows good reactivity and selectivity with thiol group.
