ATTO 610 is a carbopyronin-based fluorescent dye known for its strong absorption, high fluorescence quantum yield, and exceptional photostability and thermal stability. It is moderately hydrophilic and optimally excited at wavelengths between 595 and 625 nm. Upon coupling to a substrate, ATTO 610 becomes cationic, carrying a net electrical charge of +1. The dye remains stable under physiological pH conditions and in buffers with a pH of up to 8, though it gradually degrades at higher pH levels. ATTO 610 is ideal for advanced applications in single-molecule detection and high-resolution microscopy techniques, including PALM, dSTORM, and STED microscopy. It is also compatible with flow cytometry (FACS), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), FRET, and various other biological assays.

The DBCO derivative of ATTO 610 is a highly reactive cycloalkyne optimized for copper-free click chemistry (SPAAC, strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition). This derivative exhibits a significantly higher reaction rate with azides compared to other cyclooctynes and copper-catalyzed click reactions (CuAAC). Uniquely, DBCO does not react with tetrazines, allowing for its use in bioorthogonal reactions alongside trans-cyclooctenes and tetrazines. For applications where the presence of copper is problematic, ATTO 610 DBCO serves as an effective alternative to copper-dependent fluorescent alkynes.
