Description

  • Highly hydrophilic, thiol-reactive fluorescent label containing one reactive maleimide group.

 

Applications

  • Covalent labeling of proteins, thiol-modified DNA and thiol-modified oligonucleotides
  • Fluorescence Lifetime Label — this label exhibits a distinct lifetime change upon binding to a biomolecule
  • Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) applications
  • Single Molecule Applications — Seta-670 shows extreme low blinking in single molecule measurements
  • Flow Cytometry
  • Immunofluorescence
  • Gene Expression
  • Homogeneous Assays
  • Assessment of protein structure

 

Advantages

  • Perfectly suited for excitation with the 380, 404, 635, 670-nm diode lasers, LEDs, and UV light
  • Sensitive; high extinction coefficients and high quantum yields up to 50% after covalent attachment to proteins
  • Quantum yield is increased when covalently and non-covalently bound to protein
  • pH-insensitive between pH 3 and pH 10 
  • Good aqueous solubility; this label does not alter the solubility of the protein conjugate 
  • High photostability; e.g. compared to fluorescein or Cy5TM
  • Low molecular weight  — Seta dyes do not add substantial mass to the conjugates 
  • Ideal for non-radioactive labeling of proteins, thiol-modified DNA probes and thiol-modified oligonucleotides
