XFD488 alkyne *Same Structure to Alexa Fluor™ 488 alkyne*

Product key features

  • Ex/Em: 499/520 nm
  • Extinction coefficient: 71,000 cm-1M-1
  • Reactive Group: Alkyne
  • Efficient Conjugation: Click chemistry labeling of azides on peptides, antibodies, and other biomolecules
  • Bright and Stable: Offers high fluorescence intensity, photostability, and consistent performance across pH 4—10

Product description

The fluorescent dye alkynes react with azides via a copper-catalyzed click reaction (CuAAC). This click chemistry is increasingly being used in a variety of biological applications. XFD488 alkyne has the same chemical structure to Alexa Fluor® 488 alkyne (Alexa Fluor® is the Trademark of ThermoFisher Scientific). XFD488 alkyne is reactive with terminal alkynes via a copper-catalyzed click reaction as a bio-orthogonal or biologically unique hapten for use in applications requiring signal amplification.

Schematic illustrating the azide–alkyne cycloaddition (“click chemistry”) between an alkyne‐functionalized dye and an azide‐presenting biomolecule. In the presence of a copper catalyst (CuAAC) or under strain‐promoted conditions (SPAAC), the azide and alkyne react to form a stable 1,2,3‐triazole linkage. This highly selective and robust reaction proceeds under mild conditions, tolerates a wide range of functional groups, and is frequently used to label proteins, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules for imaging, proteomics, and high‐throughput assays.
