Biological Activity
Key Information: Janelia Fluor® 669, NHS ester is a red fluorescent dye; supplied with an NHS ester reactive group for the labeling of primary amines. Suitable for live cell imaging.Application: Suitable for confocal microscopy, super resolution microscopy (SRM) techniques including dSTORM (in both live and fixed cells) and STED. Cell permeable.
Properties and Photophysical Data: NHS ester can be converted to relevant substrate for use in self-labeling tag systems, e.g. HaloTag® and SNAP-tag®. Excitation and emission maxima (λ) are 669 nm and 682 nm, respectively; quantum yield = 0.37; extinction coefficient = 116,000 M-1cm-1; A280 correction factor = 0.043. Retains 97% fluorescence after 30 bleaching cycles.
Please see the protocol for further information on protein/antibody labeling and conjugation.
