Description

  • Amine-reactive, pH-sensitive fluorescent label containing one reactive NHS-ester group and pKa = 10.7 (free dye).

 

Applications

  • Covalent labeling of proteins, amino-modified DNA and amino-modified oligonucleotides.
  • Fluorescence Lifetime Label — this label exhibits a distinct lifetime change upon binding to a biomolecule.

 

Advantages

  • Perfectly suited for excitation with the 594-nm and 635-nm diode laser.
  • Sensitive; high extinction coefficient and high quantum yield up to 40% after covalent attachment to proteins.
  • Low non-specific binding. 
  • pH-sensitive between pH 9 and pH 12, and pH-insensitive between pH 3 and pH 9.
  • Good aqueous solubility; this label does not alter the solubility of the protein conjugate. 
  • High photostability; e.g. compared to CypHer 5TM.
  • Low molecular weight  — Squaredyes do not add substantial mass to the conjugates. 
  • Ideal for non-radioactive labeling of proteins, amino-modified DNA probes and amino-modified oligonucleotides.
