AF594 C5 Maleimide is a bright, photostable fluorescent dye functionalized with a maleimide group via a flexible pentamethylene (C5) spacer. The maleimide moiety reacts selectively and rapidly with sulfhydryl (—SH) groups at physiological pH (6.5–7.5), forming stable thioether conjugates. The extended hydrophilic spacer minimizes steric hindrance, thereby enhancing the labeling efficiency of proteins, antibodies, peptides, and other biomolecules containing free cysteine residues or thiols introduced through the reduction of disulfide bonds.

The dye exhibits excellent water solubility and low pH sensitivity. It is ideally suited for confocal microscopy, super-resolution microscopy (STED, SIM), and long-duration experiments due to its high photobleaching resistance.
