Product description

XFD514, manufactured by AAT Bioquest, is a green-fluorescent dye structurally identical to Alexa Fluor™ 514 (ThermoFisher). It is characterized by high photostability and exceptional brightness, making it highly suitable for advanced imaging and flow cytometry applications. The dye is water-soluble and remains pH-insensitive within a broad range (pH 4–10), ensuring consistent fluorescence performance across diverse experimental conditions. XFD514 offers robust and reliable labeling, enabling precise and reproducible results in fluorescence-based assays. It also serves as an effective replacement for rhodamine 6G in applications requiring enhanced performance.

XFD514 tetrazine is particularly useful for labeling TCO-modified biomolecules under copper-free conditions. It reacts with TCO-functionalized molecules, forming a stable conjugate via a dihydropyrazine moiety. This click reaction is favored over others due to its extremely fast kinetics and higher yields under mild reaction conditions, making it a popular choice for researchers.

Schematic illustrating the strain‐promoted inverse‐electron‐demand Diels–Alder (iEDDA) reaction between a tetrazine–dye conjugate and a trans‐cyclooctene (TCO)–modified biomolecule. The tetrazine–dye selectively and rapidly reacts with the TCO moiety on the biomolecule to form a stable linkage, labeling the nucleic acid with the dye. This bioorthogonal “click chemistry” process is fast, selective, and well‐suited for biocompatible labeling applications.
