Product description: AATOM(TM) 680 is a far-red fluorescent dye characterized by its strong absorption, high photo and thermal stability, and good aqueous solubility. It is optimally excited within the 645-695 nm wavelength range, which aligns with the 670 nm line of diode laser and the 676 nm line of Krypton-Ion laser. As a zwitterionic compound, AATOM(TM) 680 remains electrically neutral when conjugated to biomolecules or other substrates. Its strong electron-accepting properties result in efficient fluorescence quenching by electron donors such as guanine and tryptophan. These properties make AATOM(TM) 680 ideal for precise applications including single-molecule detection and super-resolution microscopy techniques like PALM, dSTORM, and STED. Furthermore, AATOM(TM) 680 is compatible with flow cytometry (FACS), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and a variety of other biological assays, making it a versatile tool in advanced fluorescence-based research. The DBCO derivative of AATOM(TM) 680 is a highly reactive cycloalkyne optimized for copper-free click chemistry (SPAAC, strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition). This /derivative exhibits a significantly higher reaction rate with azides compared to other cyclooctynes and copper-catalyzed click reactions (CuAAC). Uniquely, DBCO does not react with tetrazines, allowing for its use in bioorthogonal reactions alongside trans-cyclooctenes and tetrazines. For applications where the presence of copper is problematic, AATOM(TM) 680 PEG4 DBCO serves as an effective alternative to copper-dependent fluorescent alkynes.
