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 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.
