Description

  • Hydrophobic, amine-reactive fluorescent label containing one reactive NHS-ester group.

 

Applications

  • Covalent labeling of amino-modified lipids and oligonucleotides
  • Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) applications
  • Homogeneous Assays

 

Advantages

  • Perfectly suited for excitation with the 380, 404, 635 and 670-nm diode lasers and UV light
  • Sensitive; high extinction coefficients and quantum yields of protein conjugates
  • Quantum yields increase upon covalent association with biomolecules
  • pH-insensitive between pH 3 and pH 10 
  • High photostability; e.g. compared to fluorescein or Cy5TM
  • Low molecular weight  — Square dyes do not add substantial mass to the conjugates 
  • Ideal for non-radioactive labeling of amino-modified amino-modified lipids
