Product Name Texas Red-X Carboxylic Acid (C7-Spacer Red Rhodamine Dye)
Catalog No. RERE-0003
Description Compared with the parent Texas Red structure, the Red-X version adds a seven-atom aminohexanoyl spacer between the fluorophore and the carboxyl group. The spacer lifts the dye away from its attachment point, which weakens the interaction between the fluorophore and the labelled biomolecule and preserves the conjugate's behaviour. The acid is most often converted for antibody and protein coupling, and the resulting conjugates serve cell imaging applications.
Intended Use Carboxyl-handle red fluorophore for antibody and protein conjugation in cell imaging workflows.
Principle / Technology The free carboxylic acid is the reactive handle: once activated it couples to primary amines, and the C7 spacer holds the fluorophore clear of the labelled molecule, reducing steric and electronic interference.
Detection Method Fluorescence detection with excitation/emission of 595/615 nm.
Sample Type Purple solid.
Performance Range / Specifications CAS 199745-67-0; molecular formula C37H41N3O8S2; molecular weight 719.87 g/mol; appearance purple solid; purity ≥95%; Ex/Em 595/615 nm; spacer: seven-atom aminohexanoyl chain.
Specificity Long-wavelength red emission with minimal overlap into green channels, suiting multi-colour imaging panels.
Reaction Conditions / Protocol Activate the acid under the chosen coupling chemistry, react with the amine-bearing biomolecule, then purify the conjugate before use in imaging.
