Applications

This water-soluble Cyanine5 NHS ester serves as an equivalent to Cyanine 5 NHS ester, enabling the labeling of diverse amine-containing molecules in aqueous environments, eliminating the need for organic co-solvents. Particularly beneficial for proteins susceptible to denaturation in the presence of organic solvents or those with low solubility.
sulfo-Cyanine 5, an analog of the widely used Cyanine 5 fluorophore, boasts compatibility with a range of equipment including plate readers, microscopes, and imagers.
Notably hydrophilic and water-soluble, this dye also offers a non-sulfonated analog for varied applications.
