AMCA (aminomethylcoumarin acetate) is one of the brightest blue fluorescent dyes. This fluorophore has a relatively large Stoke’s shift, high resistance to photobleaching, and pH-independent fluorescence from pH 4 to 10. AMCA is a widely used fluorophore for multiple-color labeling due to its minimal fluorescence overlap with green- and longer wavelength-emitting fluorescent dyes.
AMCA carboxylic acid is a non-reactive form of AMCA dye that can be used as a reference standard in experiments involving AMCA dye conjugates. Besides, the carboxylic group can react with hydrazines, hydroxylamines, and amines using carbodiimides such as EDAC.
