<strong>HiLyte</strong> <strong>Fluor</strong> 488 Dye, an Excellent Replacement for FITC<br />

Although FITC is still the most popular fluorescent labeling dye for preparing green fluorescent bioconjugates, there are<br />

limitations, such as severe photobleaching for microscope imaging and pH-sensitive fluorescence. Protein conjugates prepared with<br />

<strong>HiLyte</strong> <strong>Fluor</strong> 488 dyes (Ex/Em=497 nm/525 nm) are far superior compared to conjugates of fluorescein derivatives such as FITC<br />

(Figure 2). <strong>HiLyte</strong> <strong>Fluor</strong> 488 conjugates are significantly brighter than fluorescein conjugates and are much more photostable.<br />

Extinction coefficient is 70,000 M -1 cm -1 , with a quantum yield of 0.91. Additionally, the fluorescence of <strong>HiLyte</strong> <strong>Fluor</strong> 488 is not<br />

affected by pH (4-10). This pH insensitivity is a major improvement over fluorescein, which emits its maximum fluorescence only at<br />

pH above 9.<br />
