AF 546 NHS ester is a rhodamine-based fluorescent dye designed for covalent labeling of biomolecules at primary amines.
AF 546 NHS ester effectively reacts with the ε-amino groups of lysines and the N-terminal amino groups of proteins, forming a stable amide bond. The reaction is carried out in a slightly alkaline environment (typically pH 7.5–8.5), which ensures high conjugation and reproducible results.
The dye is characterized by high brightness, good photostability, and minimal pH sensitivity in the physiological range. Its spectral properties make it suitable for multicolor fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, and fluorescence immunoassays.
