Atto 680 belongs to a new generation of fluorescent labels. The dye is designed for application in the area of life science, e.g. labeling of DNA, RNA or proteins. Characteristic features of the label are strong absorption, good fluorescence quantum yield, excellent thermal and photo-stability, and very little triplet formation. Atto 680 is a zwitterionic dye with a net electrical charge of zero. The fluorescence is efficiently quenched by electron donors like guanine, tryptophan, etc. Biotin conjugates can be used in applications like ELISA or immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, flow cytometry and others, to identify streptavidin, avidin, or extravidin-conjugates.
