AF 488 is a bright and photostable dye. Due to its high hydrophilicity, this is a dye of choice for the labeling of sensitive proteins and antibodies. The dye is useful for many demanding applications, including microscopy.
AF 488 is a sulfonated rhodamine dye Rhodamine 110 (R110). Like other rhodamines, it is available as 5- and 6-isomers, which have almost identical photophysical properties. The isomers need to be separated, otherwise, the use of mixed isomer dye can lead to doubled peaks during HPLC or electrophoresis separations of the labeled products. This product is an isomerically pure 5-AF 488.
This NHS ester is an amine-reactive dye; it can label amine groups in proteins, peptides, amino-modified oligos, and other target molecules.
