AF405 DBCO
AF405 DBCO is a blue fluorescent dye derivative containing a dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO) group. AF405 DBCO reacts rapidly with azide-labeled biomolecules at room temperature without the need for a metal catalyst, enabling copper-free click chemistry (SPAAC) for applications in live-cell imaging, flow cytometry, super-resolution microscopy, and other research fields.

Biological Activity
Guidelines (The recommended experimental protocol below is for guidance only and should be modified according to your specific requirements)
1. General Reaction Conditions
1.1 Reaction Type: SPAAC (Copper-Free Click Chemistry)
1.2 Buffer: Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) or other amine-free, neutral pH buffers (pH 7.2-7.4). Avoid using primary or secondary amine additives in storage buffers.
1.3 Temperature: Room temperature (19°C-25°C), or 4°C for sensitive targets.
1.4 Reaction Time: 2 hours to overnight, depending on the steric accessibility of the azide group.
2. Step-by-Step Labeling Protocol
2.1 Prepare Azide Target: Ensure that biomolecules (proteins, antibodies or cell surface glycans) carry reactive azide groups (-N3) in an optimized buffer.
2.2 Reconstitute Dye: Dissolve AF405 DBCO in anhydrous DMSO or DMF (HY-Y0345) to prepare a stock solution with a concentration of 1-10 mM.
2.3 Mix Components: Add AF405 DBCO at a 2- to 10-fold molar excess to the azide-labeled biomolecule solution.
2.4 Incubation: Protect the reaction tube from light and incubate at room temperature for 2 hours (or at 4°C overnight).
2.5 Purification: Remove unreacted free dye using spin desalting columns, dialysis or size-exclusion chromatography.
