ATTO 495 alkyne

ATTO 495 is a green fluorescent dye derived from acridine orange, known for its strong absorption, high fluorescence quantum yield, excellent photostability, and superior thermal stability. It exhibits moderate hydrophilicity and is highly soluble in polar solvents such as DMF and DMSO, with an optimal excitation range of 465-510 nm. Notably, ATTO 495 exhibits intense and long-lived phosphorescence in solid matrices or at low temperatures. This dye is well-suited for advanced applications in single-molecule detection and high-resolution microscopy techniques, such as PALM, dSTORM, and STED microscopy. It is also compatible with flow cytometry (FACS), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and a wide range of other biological assays.

The alkyne derivative of ATTO 495 is widely used for labeling azides on peptides, antibodies, and other biomolecules via click chemistry. It participates in copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) with azide-containing molecules.
