Janelia Fluor® 646, NHS ester
Chemical Name: 1-[7-(1-Azetidinyl)-10-[2-carboxy-5-[[(2,5-dioxo-1-pyrrolidinyl)oxy]carbonyl]phenyl]-9,9-dimethyl-9-silaanthracen-2(9H)-ylidene]azetidinium, inner salt
Purity: ≥95%
Biological Activity
Key Information: Janelia Fluor® 646, NHS ester is a red fluorogenic fluorescent dye; supplied with an NHS ester reactive group for the labeling of primary amines. Suitable for live cell imaging.Application: Suitable for flow cytometry, confocal microscopy, super resolution microscopy (SRM) techniques including dSTORM (in both live and fixed cells) and STED. Cell permeable.
Properties and Photophysical Data: NHS ester can be converted to relevant substrate for use in self-labeling tag systems, e.g. HaloTag® and SNAP-tag®. Can be multiplexed for two color imaging with Janelia Fluor® 549 NHS ester (Cat. No. 6147). Excitation and emission maxima (λ) are 646 nm and 664 nm, respectively; quantum yield = 0.54; extinction coefficient = 152,000 M-1cm-1 (measured in TFE plus 0.1% TFA); A280 correction factor = 0.19; lactone-zwitterion equilibrium constant (KL-Z) = 0.0012.
We recommend that stock solutions of this dye are prepared in anhydrous DMF.
To measure the absorbance spectrum of this dye we recommend the following solvent: ethanol or trifluoroethanol plus 0.1% TFA.
We also offer Janelia Fluor® conjugated antibodies and custom conjugation services.

Application of Janelia Fluor® 646, NHS ester in Cardiac Tissue. Super-resolution image (dSTORM) of muscle tissue from the left ventricle of an adult pig heart. Janelia Fluor 646, NHS ester was used to label collagen VI, which is present on the cell plasma membrane, and imaged with a 642 nm excitation laser. A clearer structure is achieved in comparison with the widefield image (top right).
