Flamma® Fluors Vinylsulfone
BioActs’ leading technology developed highly reactive yet stable and pH insensitive Flamma® Fluors Vinylsulfone dyes. Vinylsulfone reactive group mainly react with the primary amine of biomolecules under a wide range of pH from 5 to 10 though the labeling reaction rate is proportional to the basicity of medium. Vinylsulfone dyes are stable in both organic and aqueous solution at higher temperature, thus they can be dissolved in water avoiding organic solvents such as DMSO or DMF, and the aqueous stock solution can be stored in a refrigerator. Vinylsulfone reacting group is added by an amine via 1,2 addition pathway to form a stable amino linkage between dye and the biomolecule, therefore none of side product would be generated during conjugation step. BioActs recommends Flamma® Fluors Vinylsulfone for labeling biomolecules in harsh conditions such as having less reactive amines, running the reaction in prolong period, at high temperature or under strong basic or acidic environment.
