iFluor® 555 hydrazide

iFluor® 555 Hydrazide is an orange-fluorescent dye for covalent labeling of carbonyl-containing compounds, particularly aldehydes, in fluorescence-based research applications.

Hydrazide Functionality: Provides selective reactivity toward carbonyl groups, particularly aldehydes.
Spectral Properties: Excitation at 557 nm and emission at 570 nm.
pH Sensitivity: iFluor® 555 fluorescence remains stable across pH 3–11.
Spectral Compatibility: Offers spectral properties comparable to Cy3® and Alexa Fluor® 555.

<p>Fluorescent dye hydrazine derivatives are the most popular tool for conjugating dyes to a target compound with a carbonyl group (e.g., aldehyde, carboxylic acid or activated carboxy group such as NHS ester). Fluorescent dye hydrazine derivatives are also useful for tracing neurons.</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® 555 dyes have fluorescence excitation and emission maxima of ~557 nm and ~570 nm respectively. iFluor® 555 family has spectral properties essentially identical to those of Cy3® (Cy3® is the trademark of GE Healthcare). Compared to Cy3 probes, the iFluor® 555 family has much stronger fluorescence and higher photostability. Their fluorescence is pH-independent from pH 3 to 11. These spectral characteristics make this new dye family a superior alternative to Cy3®. iFluor® 555 family has become an excellent replacement for Cy3® and Alexa Fluor® 555 labeling dye (Cy3® and Alexa Fluor® are the trademarks of Invitrogen and GE Health Care). iFluor® 555 hydrazide is reasonably stable and shows good reactivity and selectivity with a carbonyl group (such as aldehyde).
