Amine reactive Cyanine7, near infrared fluorescent dye, an improved analog of Cy7®.
NIR fluorophores can be used to take advantage of near infrared window of biological tissues - increased transparency of tissues in this spectral region allows to carry out in vivo imaging.
This reagent can be utilized to produce Cyanine7-labeled biomolecules for subsequent use in various in vivo research, and drug design related experiments.
The structure of Cyanine7 features rigidized design of central polymethyne chain. This molecular reinforcement allows to increase quantum yield by 20% compared with parent structure, increasing fluorescence brightness.
This reagent requires organic co-solvent for the labeling (please see Recommended Protocols section below). Water-soluble Cyanine7 NHS ester is also available, and recommended for protein NIR labeling.
 
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。
