Invitrogen™ Click-iT™ sDIBO Alkynes for copper-free click chemistry, Alexa Fluor™ 594

Invitrogen™ Click-iT™ sDIBO Alkynes for copper-free click chemistry, Alexa Fluor™ 594

Achieve efficient labeling of azides with Click-It sDIBO Alkynes. Our Click-IT sDIBO alkynes enable the labeling of azido labeled targets without the need for copper catalysis and are available with a variety of Alexa Fluor or biotin labels, as well as amine or thiol reactive groups for creating your own conjugates. Macromolecules that have been azido-modified enzymatically, chemically, or metabolically can now be labeled easily, yielding soluble bioconjugates.

Click-iT sDIBO Alkyne labels react with azides via a copper-free Click chemistry reaction to form a stable triazole linkage with an Alexa Fluor, Biotin, or label of your choice. Copper-free click reactions using our sDIBO alkynes are ideal for surface labeling of live cells; they also minimize damage to fluorescent proteins like GFP or R-PE. For intracellular labeling, the nonspecific binding of DIBO alkynes creates a background signal, and a labeling strategy using picolyl azides is the preferred solution in these instances.

Click chemistry-labeled molecules can be applied to complex biological samples and be detected with unprecedented sensitivity due to extremely low background. Macromolecules that have been azide-modified enzymatically, chemically, or metabolically can be labeled more easily, yielding more soluble bioconjugates with improved biological labeling utility.
