• Substrate for HaloTag®*: allows bright, red emitting fluorogenic visualization of HaloTag®fusion protein of interest (POI) in live or fixed cells and tissues

CPY-CA (also known as CPY-Halo) is a ChloroAlkane (CA) derivative of the carbopyronine (CPY) fluorophore. CA is the substrate for HaloTag®, which forms a covalent bond upon reacting with it. This enables the permanent labeling of any POI that is expressed as a HaloTag® fusion, allowing stable fluorescent imaging of your POI in live or fixed cells.

Key features

• Ab: 606 nm, Em: 626 nm
• Cell-permeable
• Works on live and fixed cells and tissues
• Compatible with standard immunostaining protocols after fixation
• Fluorogenic character: enhanced fluorescence when bound to HaloTag
• Compatible with widefield, confocal, SIM, or STED imaging
