BP Fluor 555 azide

BP Fluor 555 Azide is a water-soluble, bright orange-fluorescent dye with excitation ideally suited for the 532 nm or 555 nm laser lines and visualized with TRITC (tetramethylrhodamine) filter sets. BP Fluor 555 conjugates of antibodies, peptides, and proteins are pH insensitive from pH 4 to pH 10. AF 555 conjugates ideally suited for detection of low abundance targets. BP Fluor 555 Azide can be reacted with terminal alkynes via a copper-catalyzed click reaction (CuAAC) . It also reacts with strained cyclooctyne via a copper-free “click chemistry” reaction to form a stable triazole and does not require Cu-catalyst or elevated temperatures. The brightness and photostability of this dye are best suited to direct imaging of low-abundance targets.
