Janelia Fluor 646, SE (Synonyms: JF646, SE; JF646, NHS)

Fluorogenic fluorescent dye; supplied as an NHS ester for coupling to primary amine groups. NHS ester can be converted to relevant substrate for use in self-labeling tag systems, e.g. HaloTag® and SNAP-tag®. Suitable for confocal fluorescent imaging, super resolution microscopy (SRM) techniques such as dSTORM (live and fixed cells) and STED imaging. Can be multiplexed for two colour imaging with Janelia Fluor® 549 SE . Also suitable for flow cytometry. Cell permeable. Excitation maximum = 646 nm; emission maximum = 664 nm. Quantum yield = 0.54, Max. extinction coefficient = 152,000 M-1cm-1 (measured in ethanol plus 0.1% TFA); A280 correction factor is 0.19. We recommend that stock solutions of this dye are prepared in anhydrous DMF. 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. HaloTag is a trademark of Promega Corporation, and SNAP-tag is a trademark of New England BioLabs, Inc.
