Optical properties

  • λ abs = 587 nm
  • ε max = 1.10×105 M -1 cm -1
  • CF 260 = ε 260max = 0.32
  • CF 2800 = ε 280max = 0.11

ATTO 580Q is a novel fluorescence quencher (energy acceptor in FRET process). Characteristic features of the label are strong absorption and high thermal and photo-stability. The dye is moderately hydrophilic. ATTO 580Q is a cationic dye. After coupling to a substrate the dye carries a net electrical charge of +1. ATTO 580Q consists of six isomers with practically identical absorption.
