AF 488 is a bright and photostable dye well suited for labeling sensitive proteins and antibodies due to its hydrophilicity. AF 488 is a sulfonated derivative of Rhodamine 110 (R110), and, like other rhodamines, AF 488 is represented by two (5- and 6-) isomers. Both isomers have almost identical photophysical properties but require their separation since using a mixture of isomers leads to the «doubling» of the peaks of the labeled products during HPLC and electrophoretic separation. This product contains isomerically pure 5-AF 488.
Tetrafluorophenyl (TFP) esters belong to a group of activated esters widely used to conjugate fluorophores to the primary and secondary amines of biomolecules. Like hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) esters, they form a strong amide bond between the dye and the compound being modified; however, TFP esters are more stable at the basic pH values typically associated with reactions with amines and are also less susceptible to spontaneous hydrolysis.
