Lipo800 Forte, NHS Ester
Lipo800 Forte NHS is a high-stability, highly hydrophobic NIR fluorophore with peak emission ≈ 800 nm for use with Channel #2 of the FLARE® imaging system. Lipo800 Forte-NHS can label virtually any small molecule, peptide, peptidomimetic, protein, antibody, or nanoparticle having a primary amine or other strong nucleophile, in a single-step reaction. Because of its lipophilic and cationic structure, final conjugates of Lipo800 Forte are often able to penetrate cell membranes rapidly, thus serving as a shuttle for DNA, RNA, and other small molecules.
