LiFluor™ 568 is a bright, red fluorescent dye with excitation ideally suited for the 568 nm laser line. LiFluor™ 568 is water soluble and pH-insensitive from pH 4 to pH 10. LiFluor™ 568 can be used as a replacement for Alexa Fluor 568, ATTO 565.
The NHS ester (or succinimidyl ester) is the most popular amine reactive group for labeling with the primary amines (R-NH2) of proteins, amine-modified oligonucleotides, and other amine-containing molecules. The resulting LiFluor™ conjugate will exhibit brighter fluorescence and greater photostability than the conjugates of other spectrally similar fluorophores.
Key Features
• LiFluor™ fluorescent dye has superior brightness and good photostability.
• The dye is insensitive to pH change and has good water solubility.
• Multiplexing: across spectrum from UV to near-IR.
