AZDye 430 NHS Ester (FP-1031)

AZDye™ 430 NHS Ester is a water-soluble, green-fluorescent dye that is often used in multi-color applications, including flow cytometry and super-resolution microscopy using STORM. Its excitation is ideally suited for the 407 nm spectral line of the krypton laser or the 408 nm violet laser diode. AZDye™ 405 conjugates are pH-insensitive from pH 4 to pH 10.

The NHS ester (or succinimidyl ester) is the most popular amine reactive group for labeling the primary amines of proteins (Lys), amine-modified oligonucleotides, and other amine-containing molecules. Proteins can be labeled with AZDye™ 430 NHS Ester at high molar ratios without significant self-quenching, leading to brighter conjugates and more sensitive detection.
