iFluor(TM) 700 maleimide

AAT Bioquest's iFluor(TM) dyes are optimized for labeling proteins, in particular, antibodies. These dyes are bright, photostable and have minimal quenching on proteins. They can be well excited by the major laser lines of fluorescence instruments (e.g., 350, 405, 488, 555 and 633 nm). iFluor(TM) 700 dyes have fluorescence excitation and emission maxima of about 690 nm and about 710 nm respectively. These spectral characteristics make them an excellent alternative to Alexa Fluor® 700 labeling dyes (Alexa Fluor® is the trademark of Invitrogen). iFluor(TM) 700 maleimide is reasonably stable and shows good reactivity and selectivity with thiol group.
