iFluor® 430 maleimide

iFluor® 430 Maleimide is a fluorescent, thiol-reactive dye for selective covalent labeling of proteins, antibodies, and other thiol-containing biomolecules in fluorescence-based research applications.

Thiol-Reactive Functionality: Maleimide group selectively reacts with thiols, including cysteine residues.
Spectral Properties: Excitation at 433 nm and emission at 497 nm.
Fluorescence Performance: Bright, photostable fluorescence with minimal quenching.
Spectral Compatibility: Alternative to Alexa Fluor® 430.
Applications: Suitable for fluorescent conjugation of proteins, antibodies, peptides, and thiol-modified oligonucleotides.

<p>Fluorescent dye maleimides are the most popular tool for conjugating dyes to a peptide, protein, antibody, thiol-modified oligonucleotide or nucleic acid through their SH group. Maleimides react readily with the thiol group of proteins, thiol-modified oligonucleotides, and other thiol-containing molecules under neutral conditions. The resulting dye conjugates are quite stable.</p>

Overview

AAT Bioquest's iFluor® dyes are optimized for labeling proteins, particularly 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® 430 dyes are designed to be a superior replacement for Alexa Fluor® 430 labeling dye (Alexa Fluor® is the trademark of Invitrogen). Under the same conditions, iFluor® 430 dye conjugates are significantly brighter than the corresponding bioconjugates of Alexa Fluor 430 with much stronger absorption, making the iFluor® 430 conjugates much more sensitive. iFluor® 430 maleimide is stable and shows good reactivity and selectivity with the thiol group.
