The Amersham Cy5 Mono NHS Ester Reagent, 5 mg (PA15100) is a mono-reactive CyDye fluorescent reagent supplied for targeted labelling of amine groups. Each dye molecule carries one reactive NHS ester group, making it suitable for labelling antibodies, peptides, oligonucleotides and other compounds containing free amino groups. The Cy5 fluor provides far-red fluorescence with excitation and emission maxima of 649 nm and 670 nm.
Key Features
- Mono-reactive NHS ester chemistry, with one reactive group on each dye molecule for accurate labelling of amine groups
- Cy5 far-red fluorescence, suited to detection by CCD cameras, photomultiplier tubes and some red-sensitive film
- Dried 5 mg dye format, supplied as a pre-measured dye pack for controlled reconstitution
- Targeted amine residue labelling, designed for antibodies, peptides, oligonucleotides and other compounds containing free amino groups
- High-sensitivity CyDye performance, with bright signals and narrow excitation and emission bands for discrete detection
- Refrigerated dark storage, specified for 2 to 8°C storage to protect the reagent before use
Benefits
- Supports controlled fluorescent conjugation where a Cy5 mono-reactive NHS ester dye is required.
- Helps label amine-containing biomolecules such as antibodies and peptides for downstream fluorescence detection workflows.
- Provides a far-red Cy5 signal that can be detected using suitable imaging and fluorescence detection equipment.
- Pre-measured dried dye format helps simplify reagent handling and preparation.
