Biological Activity for Janelia Fluor® 646, Azide
Key Information: Janelia Fluor® 646, Azide is a red fluorogenic fluorescent dye, supplied with an azide reactive handle for copper-free click chemistry. Suitable for live cell imaging.
Application: Suitable for confocal microscopy and super resolution microscopy (SRM) techniques including dSTORM (in both live and fixed cells) and STED. Can be multiplexed for two color imaging with Janelia Fluor® 549 SE (Cat. No. 6147). Cell permeable.
Properties and Photophysical Data: Excitation and emission maxima (λ) are 646 nm and 664 nm, respectively; quantum yield = 0.54; extinction coefficient = 152,000 M-1cm-1 (measured in ethanol plus 0.1% TFA); A280 correction factor = 0.19; lactone-zwitterion equilibrium constant (KL-Z) = 0.0012.
To measure the absorbance spectrum of this dye we recommend the following solvent: ethanol or trifluoroethanol plus 0.1% TFA.
We also offer Janelia Fluor® conjugated antibodies and custom conjugation services with our sister company Novus Biologicals.
