Product description

ATTO 532 is a rhodamine-based fluorescent dye notable for its high molar absorptivity and fluorescence quantum yield (0.90), providing robust signal intensity in fluorescence applications. Its combination of photostability, aqueous solubility, and sufficient Stokes shift makes it suitable for single-molecule detection and high-resolution microscopy techniques, including SIM and STED microscopy. ATTO 532 is also effective in flow cytometry, FISH, and various biological assays, offering flexibility for diverse fluorescence-based experimental protocols. The dye is optimally excited within the 515-545 nm range, with a frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser at 532 nm serving as an ideal excitation source.

The alkyne derivative of ATTO 532 is widely used for labeling azides on peptides, antibodies, and other biomolecules via click chemistry. It participates in copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) with azide-containing molecules.

Schematic illustrating the azide–alkyne cycloaddition (“click chemistry”) between an alkyne‐functionalized dye and an azide‐presenting biomolecule. In the presence of a copper catalyst (CuAAC) or under strain‐promoted conditions (SPAAC), the azide and alkyne react to form a stable 1,2,3‐triazole linkage. This highly selective and robust reaction proceeds under mild conditions, tolerates a wide range of functional groups, and is frequently used to label proteins, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules for imaging, proteomics, and high‐throughput assays.
