AMCA N-succinimidyl ester is an amine-reactive fluorescent probe and ester form of AMCA .¹It contains an N-hydroxysuccinimide ester that reacts with lysine residues to form photostable amide links. Upon activation with UV light, AMCA displays emission maxima of 400-460 nm. AMCA N-succinimidyl ester has commonly been used in multiplex immunophenotyping applications.^2,3,4
