XFD532, manufactured by AAT Bioquest, is structurally identical to Alexa Fluor™ 532 (ThermoFisher). It is a bright yellow-fluorescent dye with an excitation optimized for use with the 532 nm line of the frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser. XFD532 demonstrates good aqueous solubility and pH-insensitivity over a broad pH range (pH 4–10), ensuring stable fluorescence generation under varying experimental conditions. This dye is particularly suited for multicolor fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry, as well as advanced applications in super-resolution imaging techniques such as dSTORM.

XFD532 acid is a non-reactive compound that can be employed as a reference standard in studies utilizing XFD532 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.
