Non-activated carboxylic acid, an analog of Cy5® free carboxylic acid. Contains Cyanine5 fluorophore.
This dye has limited water solubility, but can be dissolved in mixtures of water with organic phase (DMF, DMSO, alcohols) to obtain useful concentrations of the material in solution. Water-soluble version is available.
This molecule can be considered non-reactive dye for the use in control samples, and for instrument calibration. For coupling with amines and protein labeling, consider using Cyanine5 NHS ester, or water-soluble sulfo-Cyanine5 NHS ester.
 
Lumiprobe 全新推出生命科學研究中最受歡迎的花青染料 —— Cyanine 系列。這些染料為 1970 年代廣泛應用於血管造影的經典花青染料吲哚菁綠（ICG）之改良版，具備更低的非特異性生物分子結合特性，並因其高消光係數及優異量子產率，展現出明亮且穩定的螢光表現。隨著 CMU 專利到期，這些高效能分子現已以更親民的價格，廣泛應用於各類生命科學領域。Cyanine 染料可用於標記多種目標，包括可溶性蛋白質、抗體、DNA 與寡核苷酸、胜肽（Peptides）及各類小分子。
