(DB-410103)
AF 488 Carboxylic Acid is a bright green-fluorescent dye that is structurally identical to Alexa Fluor 488. With its high photostability and pH resistance, it has become one of the most widely used fluorophores in life sciences.
Its hydrophilic nature makes it an ideal choice for labeling sensitive proteins. AF 488 is perfect for a variety of imaging applications, including confocal microscopy, flow cytometry (FACS), and labeling cell cultures and tissues.
AF 488 Carboxylic Acid is a non-reactive Alexa Fluor 488 dye used as a reference standard or for labeling peptides and proteins. Its carboxyl group can be activated (e.g., sulfo-NHS, TFP) or modified via carbodiimide chemistry for conjugation to amino groups. It’s commonly used in solid-phase peptide synthesis with activators like HATU.
