QF405A/B differ in emission; QF415/500 have nearby emission but different excitation peaks. Match the exact catalog number to the channel. These are NHS esters; other QF-MAL or DBCO versions require their own instructions.
For support, include: Selected QF model, light source and filters, target sample and formulation
NHS labeling and evaluation
Check QF405A/B and QF415/500 separately
QF405A and QF405B differ in emission. QF415 and QF500 have nearby emission peaks but different excitation peaks. Model numbers alone do not specify laser settings or multicolor separation.
Match each catalog number’s excitation and emission to the source and passbands, and measure spillover between adjacent channels with single-stained samples.
This page lists NHS ester versions. Other versions, such as QF500-PEG12-MAL, have different reactive ends; their manuals do not supply the NHS protein-labeling procedure.
Compare QF conjugates on the same sample
Establish accessible primary amines, sample formulation and readout conditions, then obtain preparation, input and calculation parameters for the selected NHS catalog number.
Remove competing primary amines and unintended carrier proteins. Calculate molar input with this product’s molecular weight and use its supported solvent and reaction conditions.
Remove free dye before comparing target binding, negative background and recovery. Match antibody input and acquisition conditions across models and record each labeling density.
These papers and manufacturer methods are selected for the current product use. Their reagents, conditions and parameters belong to the reported systems, not to measured Qihe product performance or universal operating conditions.
Labeling a protein with fluorophores using NHS ester derivitization
Nanda JS, Lorsch JR. · Methods in Enzymology · 536:87–94 · 2014
Uses FAM ester labeling of a protein to explain primary-amine chemistry and labeling-efficiency assessment. It informs NHS workflow design; input and reaction conditions depend on the actual dye and sample.
Fluorescent-labeled antibodies: Balancing functionality and degree of labeling
Vira S, Mekhedov E, Humphrey G, Blank PS. · Analytical Biochemistry · 402(2):146–150 · 2010
Uses FITC-labeled anti-HA antibody to assess changes in labeling density and antigen binding. It informs input-series design and post-purification functional testing; DOL alone is insufficient for selecting a conjugate.

Frequently asked questions
How do QF405A and QF405B differ in selection?
They have different emission peaks. Even when used in a similar excitation region, check emission windows, sample background and other dyes separately. The shared 405 label does not make all acquisition settings interchangeable; use the product comparison values.
Are QF415 and QF500 interchangeable or a two-color pair because their emissions are close?
Their emission positions are close but excitation peaks differ. Check both source and collection window when switching. Validate spillover with actual single stains before using them as a two-color pair; different model numbers do not establish separation.
Can the QF500-PEG12-MAL procedure be used for QF500 on this page?
This page lists NHS ester versions for primary amines, while PEG12-MAL targets free thiols. Spacer, reaction partner and preparation differ; use the preparation and conditions for the selected NHS catalog number.
Which conditions should be matched when comparing QF conjugate brightness?
Remove free dye and record each conjugate’s labeling density and recovery. Use the same target sample and comparable antibody input with negative, single-stain and binding controls. Raw intensities from different channels or acquisition gains do not directly rank performance.
