Fluorescent Probes and Dyes

Chemical dyes have been shown to be effective fluorescence tools in studying proteins, nucleic acids, lipid, carbohydrates, viruses, bacteria, cells, tissues, lymphokines, GPCRs, hormones and drugs.

  • Cyanine probes can impart prominent fluorescence for detection and characterization of the study subjects. The sulfo cyanine series offer the benefit of being water-soluble with enhanced photostability and improved quantum yields. We also offer cyanine probes having reactive groups for direct bio-conjugations.
  • Fluorescein and Rhodamine dyes are widely used classic fluorescence tools. Fluorescein sodium salt, for example, has exhibited clinical indications in retinal demarcation. We also offer products having reactive groups for direct bio-conjugations.
  • Azo and Triphenylmethane dyes exhibit a plethora of applications ranging from pH indication, metal ions complexation and textile pigmentation, and they also play active roles in biological and histological staining studies.

    Product Name: 5-FAM, SE (5-Carboxyfluorescein N-succinimidyl ester)
    Order number: 204458
    CAS: 92557-80-7
    Purity: >=95%
    Appearance: solid
    MF: C25H15NO9
    MW: 473.393
    MP: n.a. oC

    Description:
    This fluorescein dye has a NHS reactive group for bioconjugation. By reaction with the primary amine group existed in proteins, nucleic acids and drugs, these molecules are covalently labeled.
    Product Name: 6-FAM, SE
    Order number: 204459
    CAS: 92557-81-8
    Purity: >=95%
    Appearance: solid
    MF: C25H15NO9
    MW: 473.393
    MP: n.a. oC

    Description:

    Product Name: 5-FITC
    Order number: 204460
    CAS: 3326-32-7
    Purity: >=95%
    Appearance: solid
    MF: C21H11NO5S
    MW: 389.381
    MP: n.a. oC

    Description:
    This fluorescein dye has an isothiocyanate reactive group capable of conjugating with peptides and proteins having cysteine residue (containing sulfhydryl SH) and lysine residue (containing terminal amine NH2). Addition of SH to isothiocyanate is faster to form dithiocarbamatewhich is converted to more stable thiourea.
    Product Name: Phenol Red
    Order number: 50P600238
    CAS: 143-74-8
    Purity: >=95%
    Appearance: solid
    MF: C19H14O5S
    MW: 354.376
    MP: >300 oC

    Description:
    The Phenol Red product as a triphenylmethane-type dye product responds to pH changes from neutral (red) to acidic (yellow) values in culture media. It is used to check the kidney function based on the excreted phenol red by colorimetric method. It is used as a non-absorbed marker in gravimetric method. As a pH indicator its applications are ranged from cell biology to household swimming pools.
    Product Name: 6-FITC (3',6'-Dihydroxy-6-isothiocyanatospiro[isobenzofuran-1(3H),9'-[9H]xanthen]-3-one)
    Order number: 204576
    CAS: 3326-31-6

    Appearance: solid
    MF: C21H11NO5S
    MW: 389.381
    MP: n.a. oC

    Description:
    This fluorescein dye has been used conjugation with antibodies including the flow cytometry. With the isocyanate reactive group, the dye is capable of conjugating with peptides and proteins having cysteine residue (containing sulfhydryl SH) and lysine residue (containing terminal amine NH2). Addition of SH to isothiocyanate is faster to form dithiocarbamate which is converted to more stable thiour
