Description
- Amine-reactive, non-fluorescent quencher containing one reactive NHS-ester group
- Very broad visible-wavelength absorption spectrum
- Efficient energy transfer acceptor for green- to orange-fluorescent dyes (FAM, TET, JOE, TAM, ROX, Cy3, Cy3.5,
Alexa 532, Alexa 546, Alexa 568) in FRET applications
Applications
- Covalent labeling of proteins, peptides, amino-modified DNA and amino-modified oligonucleotides
- Energy Transfer (RET) acceptor for molecular beacons and other FRET based applications
- Real-time PCR
- Homogeneous Assays
Advantages
- pH-insensitive between pH 3 and pH 10
- Good aqueous solubility; this label does not alter the solubility of the protein conjugate
- Low molecular weight — SQ dyes do not add substantial mass to the conjugates
- Ideal for non-radioactive labeling of proteins, amino-modified DNA probes and amino-modified oligonucleotides
