Introduction of APDye Fluors 647

APDye Fluor 647 is structurally similar to Alexa Fluor 647(AF647), and spectrally is almost identical to Cy5 Dye, Alexa Fluor 647, CF 647 Dye, or any other Cyanine5 based fluorescent dyes. APDye Fluor 647 is a bright green-fluorescent dye optimal for use with the 633, 650 nm Argon laser. The dye is water soluble and pH-insensitive from pH 4 to pH 10. The dye has 4 sulfonate groups make it high water soluble and less aggregation in the aqueous solution. APDye Fluor 647 is used for protein and antibody labeling, or nucleic acid applications with high labeling density.

Probes with high fluorescence quantum yield and high photostability allow detection of low-abundance biological structures with great sensitivity. APDye Fluor 647 dye molecules can be attached to proteins at high molar ratios without significant self-quenching, leading to brighter conjugates and more sensitive detection.

We offer APDye Fluor 647 dye conjugated to a variety of antibodies, peptides, proteins, tracers, and amplification substrates optimized for cellular labeling and detection. In addition, reactive dye forms and protein labeling kits are available to allow you to generate your own antibody conjugates or probes.

TFP (tetrafluorophenyl) ester is an amine-reactive activated ester that reacts with primary amines of biomolecules in the same way as the succinimidyl ester (SE or NHS-ester) to form a stable amide bond. The major advantage of TFP esters over the succinimidyl ester is much improved resistance to spontaneous hydrolysis during conjugation reactions resulting in more efficiency and better reproducible labeling of biopolymers. TFP esters are stable for several hours at the basic pH typically used for reactions–far outlasting succinimidyl esters.

APDye Fluor 647 Picolyl Azide
APDye Fluor 647 Picolyl Azide (Alexa Fluor 647 Picolyl Azide analog) is an advanced fluorescent probe that incorporates a copper-chelating motif to raise the effective concentration of Cu(I) at the reaction site. The rate of CuAAC reaction depends on concentrations of all reagents, including copper, thus the raise of the effective copper concentration at the reaction site dramatically increase the rate of CuAAC reaction without the need to increase concentration of azide reagent and copper.
In addition, the use of picolyl azide instead of conventional azide allows for at least a tenfold reduction in the concentration of the copper catalyst without sacrificing the efficiency of labeling.
In summary, the introduction of a picolyl moiety into an azide probe leads to a substantial increase in the sensitivity of alkyne detection. This will be of special value for the detection of low abundance targets or where significant increase in signal intensity is desired.
