Alexa fluor 647 maleimide is a bright, far-red-emitting fluorescent dye for labeling of protein SH groups (Ex/Em = 656/670 nm). Alexa fluor 647 maleimide can be used to attach AF 647 fluorophore to proteins and peptides containing cysteine residues, as well as to other thiolated molecules (such as thiol-containing oligonucleotides). Alexa Fluor 647 maleimide is promising for research of cell biology, neuroscience, and disease diagnostics.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
