6-Azidohexanoic acid STP ester
6-Azidohexanoic Acid STP Ester is an amine-reactive, water-soluble labeling reagent with an azide group and a terminal 4-Sulfo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl (STP) group. 6-Azidohexanoic Acid STP Ester is used to modify proteins, antibodies, and other amine-containing biopolymers in aqueous media. The azide group can react with alkyne, BCN, DBCO via Click Chemistry to yield a stable triazole linkage. STP esters can react with primary amines, forming covalent amide bonds, and typically display much better stability toward hydrolysis in aqueous media, resulting in more efficiency and better reproducible labeling of biopolymers.

EdU Incorporation Assay (Click Chemistry-Based DNA Synthesis Measurement)
The EdU incorporation assay measures DNA synthesis by adding the thymidine analog 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine to cells or tissues, where it is incorporated into newly synthesized DNA during S phase. Incorporated EdU is detected by copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition, in which a fluorescent azide covalently reacts with the ethynyl group on EdU, allowing S-phase cells to be detected by fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, or high-content imaging. EdU detection does not require DNA denaturation or anti-BrdU antibody access, which preserves sample structure and improves compatibility with immunostaining and multiparameter cytometry compared with BrdU-based detection. EdU can be cytotoxic in a cell-type- and exposure-dependent manner, so pulse duration, concentration, and continuous-labeling designs should be validated for each cell type.
