Flamma® 774 Thiol
Cat. No. List below
Description
Flamma® Fluors 774 Thiol offers versatile labeling options such as biomolecule labeling (can be attached to biomolecules through disulfide bond formation with thiol groups of cysteine residues), reference standard (useful as a reference standard for dye-conjugates), protein labeling (suitable for protein labeling applications due to its thiol reactivity), in vivo imaging (its NIR properties make it excellent for deep tissue imaging with minimal background interference).
The high extinction coefficient (≥ 182,000 cm?¹M?¹) indicates strong light absorption, contributing to its sensitivity in fluorescence applications.
The low CF280 value (0.1) suggests minimal interference with protein absorbance at 280 nm, making it suitable for protein labeling without significantly affecting concentration measurements.
Its similarity to widely used dyes like Cy7.5 and IRDye800 allows for easy integration into existing imaging protocols and systems.
Flamma® Fluors 774 Thiol represents a powerful tool in the arsenal of fluorescent probes, offering researchers a reliable option for NIR imaging and labeling applications across various fields of life sciences and biomedical research.
