AZDye 430 Azide

AZDye™ 430 Azide is a water-soluble, green-fluorescent azide-activated probe that reacts with terminal alkynes via a copper-catalyzed click reaction (CuAAC). It also reacts with strained cyclooctyne via a copper-free click chemistry reaction to form a stable triazole and does not require Cu-catalyst or elevated temperatures.

AZDye™ 430 is a bright, and photostable, green-fluorescent probe optimally excited near its absorption maximum at 432 nm. Its emission peaks at 539 nm is pH independent over a wide pH range. The brightness and photostability of blue dyes are well suited to direct imaging of moderate to high abundance targets.

AZDye™ 430 is structurally identical to Alexa Fluor® 430. Its absorption/emission spectra is a perfect match to spectra of many other structurally similar dyes, including Alexa Fluor® 430 and CF®430 Dye.
