XFD405 alkyne

Product key features: Ex/Em: 401/421 nm Extinction coefficient: 35,000 cm-1M-1 Reactive Group: Alkyne Efficient Conjugation: Click chemistry labeling of azides on peptides, antibodies, and other biomolecules Consistent Fluorescence: pH-insensitive from pH 4 to 10 and minimal quenching when conjugated to proteins High Photostability: Ensures reliable performance for multicolor flow cytometry and advanced imaging applications like STORM. Product description: XFD405, manufactured by AAT Bioquest, is a blue-fluorescent dye that is structurally identical to Alexa Fluor(TM) 405 (ThermoFisher). This dye is water-soluble and optimized for excitation by the 407 nm krypton laser line or the 408 nm violet laser diode, making it suitable for a range of fluorescence-based techniques. XFD405 is pH-insensitive across a wide range (pH 4 - 10) and exhibits minimal quenching when conjugated to proteins, ensuring consistent fluorescence signals in live-cell imaging. With an excitation maximum at 401 nm and emission at 422 nm, XFD405 is well-suited for multicolor flow cytometry and super-resolution microscopy (STORM), providing reliable performance in applications requiring distinct spectral separation and photostability. The alkyne derivative of XFD405 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.
