F-ara-EdU (2′-deoxy-2′-fluoro-5-ethynyluridine) is a synthetic analog of thymidine used to study de novo DNA synthesis and cell proliferation. It is a less cytotoxic alternative for BrdU (5-Bromo-2′-deoxyuridine) and EdU (5-Ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine).

F-ara-EdU incorporates into replicating DNA during the S-phase of the cell cycle instead of natural thymidine. Metabolic incorporation of F-ara-EdU into DNA can be detected by copper-catalyzed click reaction with fluorescent or biotin-labeled azides.

In contrast to EdU, F-ara-EdU causes little or no cellular arrest or DNA synthesis inhibition. Therefore, F-ara-EdU is ideally suited for pulse-chase experiments aimed at birth-dating DNA in vivo and long-term cell survival estimation.

AmdU (5-Azidomethyl-2'-deoxyuridine)

Azidomethyldeoxyuridine (AmdU) is an azide-contained nucleoside that is incorporated into nascent DNA by cellular polymerases. The azide groups attached to DNA this way can be subsequently modified with alkynes or cycloalkynes via copper-catalyzed or strain-promoted click reaction.

AF 488 streptavidin

AF 488 conjugate of streptavidin, a high-affinity biotin-binding protein, for immunofluorescence, western blots, microplate assays, and other applications use.

AF 488 azide

AF 488 azide is a fluorophore with emission in the green spectrum range. It reacts with alkynes in copper-catalyzed cycloaddition reactions.
