Flamma® 675 Dichlorotriazine

Flamma® Fluors 675 Dichlorotriazine is a hydroxyl reactive near infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye induced from benzindocyanine structure and used to generate a stable fluorescence signal in bioimaging. The maxima of Ex/Em values are at 675/691 nm, similar to that of Alexa 680, Cy5.5, IRDye 680LT and DyLight 680. Flamma 675 might be excited using 633 nm laser line and the emission occurs at biological tissue permeable NIR region. Hydroxyls irreversibly displace one of chlorines at triazine ring to yield an aryl ether linkage. Dichlorotriazines are among the few reactive groups that are reported to react directly with polysaccharides and other alcohols in aqueous solution, provided that the pH is >9 and other nucleophiles are not present. We offer Flamma Fluors 675 dichlorotriazine for labeling of polysaccharides and alcohols on biomolecules for cellular labeling and detection.
