5-Carboxy-X-rhodamine N-succinimidyl ester is widely used as a fluorescent labeling reagent in biological research. It is particularly effective for tagging proteins, peptides, and antibodies due to its reactive succinimidyl ester group, which forms stable amide bonds with primary amines. This chemical is valued for its bright fluorescence and photostability, making it suitable for applications such as fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, and cell imaging. It is also utilized in fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) studies to investigate molecular interactions. Additionally, it serves as a tracer in biochemical assays and diagnostic applications, enabling the visualization and tracking of biomolecules in complex biological systems.
