Product description

XFD633, manufactured by AAT Bioquest, is a bright red-fluorescent dye structurally identical to Alexa Fluor™ 633 (ThermoFisher). It is characterized by its intense brightness, high fluorescence quantum yield and photostability. The dye demonstrates excellent solubility in aqueous solutions and retains pH-independent fluorescence over a broad range (pH 4–11), ensuring consistent performance across diverse experimental conditions. Optimally excited by the 633 nm emission line of He-Ne lasers or the 635 nm diode laser, XFD633 is particularly well-suited for flow cytometry. Its robust and uniform labeling properties yield high signal intensity and reproducibility, making it an ideal choice for advanced fluorescence imaging, flow cytometry, and various fluorescence-based analytical techniques.

XFD633 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.
