APDye™ Fluor 647 Hydrazide: Overview and Applications
Product Summary
APDye™ Fluor 647 Hydrazide is a bright, far-red fluorescent dye and a reliable replacement for Alexa Fluor® 647 Hydrazide. Designed for labeling aldehydes or ketones in polysaccharides and glycoproteins, this water-soluble dye offers high brightness, stability, and low autofluorescence, making it ideal for imaging and flow cytometry, excitable at 633 nm or 647 nm.
Key Benefits
- High Brightness and Stability: Delivers strong, lasting fluorescence.
- Spectral Compatibility: Nearly identical to Alexa Fluor® 647, Cy5, and CF® 647.
- Low Autofluorescence: Reduces background noise for clearer signals.
- Water Solubility: Stable in aqueous environments across pH 4 to 10.
Applications
- Labeling Polysaccharides and Glycoproteins
- Tags aldehydes or ketones in biomolecules for precise tracking.
- Cell Tracing
- Acts as a bright, stable cell tracer that doesn’t penetrate membranes.
- Flow Cytometry and Imaging
- Optimized for 633 nm or 647 nm excitation, ensuring strong signals.
- Spectral Analogs
- Compatible as a replacement for Cy5, Alexa Fluor® 647, and similar dyes.
