APDye 488 Azide is a green-fluorescent dye with an azide group, perfect for bioorthogonal labeling and imaging. It reacts quickly with alkyne-containing biomolecules via copper-catalyzed click chemistry, enabling precise labeling. The dye offers bright, photostable fluorescence, similar to Alexa Fluor® 488, making it ideal for live-cell imaging, flow cytometry, and microscopy.
Key Features and Applications:
- Bright Fluorescence: Emits intense green light, enhancing visualization in assays.
- Reactive Azide Group: Efficiently conjugates with alkynes, allowing specific biomolecule labeling.
- Bioorthogonal Conjugation: Provides non-toxic, precise labeling in complex biological environments.
Applications:
- Protein and Biomolecule Labeling: Ideal for tagging antibodies, proteins, and nucleic acids.
- Fluorescence Imaging: Widely used in microscopy, flow cytometry, and diagnostic imaging.
- Drug Delivery: Tracks drug carriers and enhances diagnostics in research.
