AQuora® 350-Maleimide

AQuora® 350-Maleimide is a thiol-reactive fluorophore engineered with SuperHydrophilic™ technology designed to improve solubility during labeling and of the dye-labeled conjugate. As a result, the dye-labeled conjugates made with AQuora® 350-Maleimide yield enhanced signal and signal-to-noise ratios in fluorescence-based applications, including fluorescent western blotting, fluorescence-based microscopy, flow cytometry, and cell-based assays. AQuora® 350-Maleimide is a coumarin-based dye with photophysical properties comparable to Alexa Fluor 350® and DyLight® 350. This AQuora® 350-Maleimide dye is activated with a maleimide (MAL) group which reacts with a thiol to form a thioether bond. (Alexa Fluor® and DyLight® are trademarks of Thermo Fisher Scientific.)
