Product description
XFD610, manufactured by AAT Bioquest, is a red-fluorescent dye that is structurally identical to Alexa Fluor™ 610 (ThermoFisher). The dye exhibits high photostability and strong fluorescence, making it well-suited for advanced imaging applications and flow cytometry. Its water solubility and pH-independent fluorescence over a broad range (pH 4–10) ensure consistent performance under diverse experimental conditions. XFD610 enables reproducible labeling with high signal intensity, providing reliable results in fluorescence-based assays. Additionally, it serves as a robust alternative to Texas Red™, offering improved optical properties for experiments requiring enhanced fluorescence output.
XFD610 TCO is particularly useful for labeling tetrazine-modified biomolecules under copper-free conditions. It reacts with tetrazine-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.
