Product Introduction
ATTO Rho14 is a new bright rhodamine featuring a functionality for coupling to biomolecules such as DNA, RNA or proteins. The label shows strong absorption, and extraordinarily high fluorescence quantum yield. In addition the dye exhibits an exceptionally high photostability. After coupling to a substrate ATTO Rho14 carries a net electrical charge of +1. Absorption and fluorescence are pH-independent in the range of pH 2 to 11, used in typical applications. The dye is moderately hydrophilic.

Application
ATTO Rho14 is a red-emitting ATTO fluorophore designed for labeling workflows where bright fluorescence and convenient conjugation chemistry are required. Its spectral output in the red range supports multicolor imaging strategies and fluorescence-based quantification in microscopy and plate-reader formats, especially when background from shorter-wavelength dyes needs to be minimized. In practice, ATTO Rho14 is used as a robust dye component for preparing fluorescent conjugates for biomolecule tracking, staining, and assay development.
1. Fluorescence Microscopy Labeling
ATTO Rho14 is widely used by cell biology and imaging laboratories to generate red fluorescent labeling reagents for cellular imaging workflows. Researchers incorporate ATTO Rho14 into antibody, peptide, or other biomolecule conjugates to visualize binding patterns, track biomolecular localization, and follow distribution changes across fixed or prepared sample types. The red emission is particularly helpful for multichannel microscopy experiments where spectral separation from green and yellow labels improves channel assignment and reduces cross-talk during image acquisition.
2. Flow Cytometry Red Channel
ATTO Rho14 supports flow cytometry workflows that require a stable red fluorescence readout for population analysis and fluorescence-based gating. In typical assay development settings, ATTO Rho14 is used to prepare fluorescent conjugates that label target-binding reagents or reporter constructs, enabling quantification of labeling intensity across cell populations. The dye's red emission profile aligns well with common cytometer configurations that include red/orange detection channels, making it a practical choice for multicolor panels where careful spectral spacing is needed.
3. Fluorescent Bioassay Tracers
ATTO Rho14 is used in fluorescence assay development as a tracer label for monitoring binding, uptake, or reagent-biomolecule interactions in plate-based and cuvette-based formats. Chemical biology groups often prepare ATTO Rho14-labeled probes or conjugates to track assay progress through fluorescence intensity changes and to visualize reaction endpoints in microplate readers. This application is especially common when the red spectral region helps reduce interference from autofluorescence and supports multiplexing with other fluorophores.
4. Protein And Antibody Conjugates
ATTO Rho14 is frequently selected for preparing fluorescent protein conjugates, including antibody labeling reagents used for immunofluorescence and targeted binding studies. In research settings, ATTO Rho14-labeled antibodies or antibody-derived constructs enable visualization of antigen distribution and relative abundance in experimental samples, with the red emission supporting clear separation from green-channel markers. Such conjugates are also used as standardized fluorescent reagents in assay optimization and workflow validation for downstream imaging or quantification.
