XFD750, manufactured by AAT Bioquest, is a bright near-infrared fluorescent dye structurally identical to Alexa Fluor™ 750 (ThermoFisher). It is efficiently excited by the 633 nm laser line and is compatible with the Cy7 filter set, making it well-suited for applications such as fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. The dye demonstrates excellent aqueous solubility and maintains pH stability across a broad range (pH 4–10), ensuring reliable and reproducible fluorescence signals under diverse experimental conditions. Its long-wavelength emission effectively reduces background autofluorescence, enhancing signal-to-noise ratios in complex biological samples, particularly in tissue imaging. Furthermore, XFD750 is widely utilized in stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM), providing exceptional performance in both dSTORM and nSTORM super-resolution imaging techniques.

XFD750 tetrazine is particularly useful for labeling TCO-modified biomolecules under copper-free conditions. It reacts with TCO-functionalized molecules, forming a stable conjugate via a dihydropyrazine moiety. This click reaction is favored over others due to its extremely fast kinetics and higher yields under mild reaction conditions, making it a popular choice for researchers.
