AF647-NHS ester is an analog of Alexa Fluor 647 (AF647). NHS ester can covalently bind to molecules with amino groups (such as proteins, antibodies, etc.). AF647 is a far-red fluorescent dye with an excitation wavelength (λex) of 635 nm (conventional fluorescence detection)/620 nm (instantaneous detection). Storage: Protect from light.

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.
