APDye 594 Picolyl Azide is a red-fluorescent dye (Ex/Em: 590/617 nm), equivalent to Alexa Fluor 594 Picolyl Azide, designed for efficient biomolecule labeling through copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC). Its picolyl azide group enhances copper binding, enabling faster and more efficient conjugation while minimizing copper concentration, reducing cytotoxicity, and improving biocompatibility.
Key Features:
- Alexa Fluor 594 Equivalent: Matches the brightness and stability of Alexa Fluor 594.
- Enhanced Reactivity: Picolyl azide structure accelerates CuAAC reactions.
- Bright Red Fluorescence: Strong emission for clear visualization in fluorescence-based assays.
- Low Cytotoxicity: Requires less copper catalyst, improving cell compatibility.
Applications:
- Fluorescence Imaging: Biomolecule labeling in fixed and live cells.
- Flow Cytometry: Detection of labeled cells for analysis.
- Bioconjugation: Protein, peptide, and nucleic acid labeling.
- Drug Discovery: Screening and target identification.
