AF 488 PEG5-Biotin: Fluorescent Dye

(DB-410111)

AF 488 PEG5-Biotin 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 (much higher due to PEG) nature makes it an ideal choice for labeling sensitive proteins.


PEG5 spacer improves accesibility to binding partners. It makes it better for in-cell labeling, protein conjugation, or any application where spatial flexibility, solubility, or reduced nonspecific binding is critical.
