ATTO 590 DMPE Labeled Phospholipid 1 mg
Product No. AD-590-191
ATTO-Dye Labeled Phospholipids
In recent years the investigation of biological membranes, e.g. intracellular membranes of live cells, plasma membranes etc., has become a major subject of interest. As a result there is a growing demand for fluorescent dye-labeled lipids, in particular glycero-phospholipids, to be incorporated in biological membranes. ATTO-TEC offers a variety of glycero-phospholipids, carrying one or two fatty acid chains (lipophilic groups) and a phosphate ester residue (hydrophilic group).
ATTO-dye fluorescent phospholipids are labeled at the hydrophilic head group. After incorporation in, e.g., a plasma membrane (phospholipid bilayer) the fluorophore is located at the water/lipid interface of the membrane.

Currently we provide the phospholipids
- 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DPPE),
- 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE),
- 1-palmitoyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (PPE)
- 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DMPE), and
- 1,2-dilauroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DLPE)
labeled with ATTO-dyes.
ATTO 590
ATTO 590 is a novel fluorescent label belonging to the class of rhodamine dyes. Characteristic features of the label are strong absorption, high fluorescence quantum yield, and high thermal and photo-stability. Thus ATTO 590 is highly suitable for single-molecule detection applications and high-resolution microscopy such as PALM, dSTORM, STED etc. Additionally the dye highly qualifies to be applied in flow cytometry (FACS), fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH and many more.
The dye is moderately hydrophilic. As supplied ATTO 590 consists of a mixture of two isomers with practically identical absorption and fluorescence. However, on request the dye can also be supplied in isomeric purity.
The fluorescence is excited most efficiently in the range 575 - 610 nm.
