XFD514 acid

• Ex/Em: 518/543 nm
• Extinction coefficient: 80,000 cm^-1M^-1
• Bright and Stable: Offers high fluorescence intensity, photostability, and consistent performance across pH 4—10
• Hydrophilic: Prevents aggregation and enhances signal clarity for advanced imaging and live-cell applications

XFD514, manufactured by AAT Bioquest, is a bright green-fluorescent dye that is structurally identical to Alexa Fluor™ 514 (ThermoFisher). With optimal excitation between 480-535 nm, it is ideally compatible with the 488 nm line of the Argon-Ion laser and the 532 nm line of the frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser. XFD514 offers excellent water solubility and maintains stability across a broad pH range (pH 4–10), making it an excellent choice for delivering consistent and reliable fluorescence signals in both microscopy and flow cytometry applications.

XFD514 acid is a non-reactive compound that can be employed as a reference standard in studies utilizing XFD514 conjugates. It is also suitable for use as a control in confocal microscopy, immunocytochemistry (ICC), high-content screening (HCS), flow cytometry, and live cell imaging applications. Furthermore, it can be utilized in the synthesis of activated esters and STP and can be coupled to hydrazines, hydroxylamines, or amines in aqueous solutions using water-soluble carbodiimides (e.g., EDAC). This allows for the conjugation of the dye to amino-containing molecules, such as proteins, antibodies, amine-modified oligonucleotides, and peptides.
