Cyanine5 is one of the dyes that are used in qPCR. The corresponding filter set is found on many qPCR machines.
This reactive derivative is useful for the synthesis of qPCR probes having Cyanine5 at 5′-end, the most typical location of the fluorophore. This is a terminating, non-nucleoside reagent.
Amidite group in this reagent is bound to a secondary oxygen. This provides extra stability against Arbuzov rearrangement - a reaction that leads to amidite deterioration in solution in oligonucleotide synthesizer. This molecular design increases the stability of the reagent, maintaining efficient coupling over a longer time.
 
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。
