BP Fluor 647 Hydrazide

BP Fluor 647 Hydrazide

BP Fluor 647 Hydrazide is a bright, far-red-fluorescent dye that often used for labeling aldehydes or ketones in polysaccharides or glycoproteins. BP Fluor Hydrazide is useful as low molecular weight, membrane-impermeant, aldehyde-fixable cell tracers, exhibiting brighter fluorescence and greater photostability than cell tracers derived from other spectrally similar fluorophores. BP Fluor 647 is a water-soluble, bright, far-red-fluorescent dye with excitation ideally suited for the 633 nm or 647 nm laser lines. A significant advantage to using long wavelength dyes such as Cy5 or BP Fluor 647 dye over other fluorophores is the low autofluorescence of biological specimens in this region of the spectrum.
