A sulfonated cyanine fluorescent dye with a carboxylic acid group for fluorescent conjugate synthesis and labeling research.
Sulfo-Cyanine5 Carboxylic Acid, also known as Cy5, combines a cyanine fluorophore with sulfonic acid groups and a carboxylic acid functional group. It serves as a building block for preparing fluorescent conjugates through appropriate activation and coupling chemistry.
The carboxylic acid group enables conjugation to compatible molecules after activation, supporting the development of fluorescent labels for biochemical research. This product is the carboxylic acid form, rather than a preactivated NHS ester.www.tcichemicals.com
