HiLyte™ Fluor 488 hydroxylamine, HCl salt single isomer fluorescent dye
Supplier: Anaspec Inc
HiLyte™ Fluor 488 hydroxylamine is a carbonyl-reactive labeling dye, which reacts more readily with aldehydes at physiological pH than other primary amine-containing reagents (such as hydrazides and amines).
- Spectral Properties Abs/Em = 498/525 nm
- Solvent System DMF or DMSO
- Storage -20°C desiccated and protected from light
The reaction of HiLyte™ Fluor 488 hydroxylamine with aldehydes yields oxime ethers, which are stable at physiological conditions. Therefore, HiLyte™ Fluor 488 hydroxylamine can be used to directly detect aldehydes in proteins and DNA.
Extinction Coefficient (M-1cm-1): 70,000
Fluorescence quantum yield: 0.91
Fluorescence Life Time (ns): 4.1
