Introduction
LumiDye™ AF647 NHS Ester is a bright and photostable far-red dye with excitation ideally suited to the 633 nm laser line. Used for stable signal generation in imaging and flow cytometry, LumiDye™ AF647 dye is water soluble and pH-insensitive from pH 4 to pH 10. NHS esters can be used to label to the primary amines (R-NH2) of proteins, amine-modified oligonucleotides, and other amine-containing molecules. The resulting AF647-conjugate will exhibit brighter fluorescence and greater photostability than the conjugates of other spectrally similar fluorophores. In addition to reactive dye formulations, we offer AF647 dye conjugated to a variety of antibodies, peptides, proteins, tracers, and amplification substrates optimized for cellular labeling and detection.

Typical Labeling Protocol
1. Dissolve ~10 mg of the protein in 1 mL of 0.1 M sodium bicarbonate buffer pH 8.3.
2. Preparing the Reactive Dye Solution: Immediately before use, dissolve the Reactive dye in high-quality, anhydrous dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) or dimethylformamide (DMF) at a final concentration of 10 mg/mL. Once reconstituted, use the reactive dye solution immediately.
3. While stirring or vortexing the protein solution (step 1), slowly add 50–100 μL of the reactive dye solution.
4. Incubate the reaction for 1 hour at room temperature with continuous stirring.
5. Optional: Stop the reaction by adding 0.1 mL of freshly prepared 1.5 M hydroxylamine, pH 8.5, and incubate the hydroxylamine-containing reaction for one hour at room temperature.
6. Separating the conjugate from unreacted labeling reagent by dialysis or gel filtration media with an appropriate molecular weight cutoff.
7. Determining the Degree of Labeling: Measure the absorbance of the protein–dye conjugate at 280 nm (A₂₈₀) and at the λmax for the dye (Aₘₐₓ).
8. The following formula can be used to calculate the protein concentration:
Protein concentration (mg/mL) = ( A280 - CF280 ×Amax) ×MW/ εprotein
9. The following formula can be used to calculate the degree of labeling:
DOL = ( Amax × MW) / (Protein concentration× εdye )
where MW = the molecular weight of the protein, εdye = the extinction coefficient of the dye at its absorbance maximum, and the protein concentration is in mg/mL.
10. Storing the Protein Conjugate: Add 0.05–0.2% Proclin 300 or 0.05% sodium azide, along with a protein stabilizer (such as 0.1% BSA), to the labeled protein.
