AQuora® TAMRA-NHS Ester

AQuora® TAMRA NHS Ester is an amine-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® TAMRA NHS Ester 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® TAMRA NHS Ester is a xanthene-based dye with photophysical properties comparable to 5(6)-Carboxytetramethylrhodamine, TMR, TRITC, CF®543 Dye, and Alexa Fluor® 546. This AQuora® TAMRA NHS Ester dye is activated with a N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester group which reacts with free primary amines, such as the amines on the side chain of lysines, forming a stable amide bond.
