Molecular Probes™ Qdot™ 585 ITK™ Amino (PEG) Quantum Dots

Description

• Qdot™ 585 ITK™ amino (PEG) quantum dots are the ideal starting material for preparing custom conjugates of ultrabright and photostable fluorescently labeled proteins or other biopolymers
• These probes are functionalized with amine-derivatized PEG, which prevents non-specific interactions and provides a convenient handle for conjugation
• The amino quantum dots react efficiently with isothiocyanates and succinimidyl esters, or with native carboxylic acids using water-soluble carbodiimides such as EDC
• Such derivatives may be used for various labeling and tracking applications that require ultrabright and stable fluorescence
• Our Qdot™ ITK™ amino quantum dots are provided as 8μM solutions and are available in 8 colors of Qdot™ probes
• Important Features of Qdot™ ITK™ Amino Quantum Dots: Qdot™ 585 ITK™ amino quantum dot has emission maxima of ∼585 nm Extremely photostable and bright fluorescence Efficiently excited with single-line excitation sources Narrow emission, large stokes shift Available in multiple colors Ideal for various labeling and tracking applications Properties of Qdot™ Nanocrystals Qdot™ probes are ideal for imaging and labeling applications that require bright fluorescent signals and/or real-time tracking
• Unique among fluorescent reagents, all nine available colors of Qdot™ probes can be simultaneously excited with a single (UV to blue-green) light source
• This property makes these reagents excellent for economical and user-friendly multiplexing applications
• Qdot™ labels are based on semiconductor nanotechnology and are similar in scale to moderately sized proteins
• About the Innovator’s Tool Kit Qdot™ ITK™ Reagents These Qdot™ ITK™ probes are ideal for researchers who wish to prepare specific (non-stocked) conjugates for their applications and need customizable conjugation functionality
• Other Forms of Qdot™ Nanocrystals are Available In addition to the amine-derivatized form, we offer Qdot™ ITK™ quantum dots with carboxyl and aliphatic hydrocarbon modifications
• We’ve also developed a wide range of Qdot™ nanocrystals conjugates and labeling kits
