AQuora® 488-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® 488-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® 488-Maleimide is a xanthene-based dye with photophysical properties comparable to Alexa Fluor 488® and DyLight® 488. It is activated with a maleimide (MAL) group, which reacts with a thiol to form a thioether bond. (Alexa Fluor® and DyLight® are registered trademarks of Thermo Fisher Scientific.)
