XFD514, manufactured by AAT Bioquest, is a green-fluorescent dye structurally identical to Alexa Fluor™ 514 (ThermoFisher). It is characterized by high photostability and exceptional brightness, making it highly suitable for advanced imaging and flow cytometry applications. The dye is water-soluble and remains pH-insensitive within a broad range (pH 4–10), ensuring consistent fluorescence performance across diverse experimental conditions. XFD514 offers robust and reliable labeling, enabling precise and reproducible results in fluorescence-based assays.

XFD514 amine is a carbonyl-reactive building block for modifying carboxylic groups in the presence of activators such as EDC or DCC, or activated esters like NHS esters, through the formation of stable amide bonds. Additionally, it can be used as an amine donor for enzymatic transamination labeling.
