Cy5-DBCO (DBCO-Sulfo-Cy5) is a near-infrared (NIR) red fluorescent dye (λabs: 646 nm, λem: 670 nm), not suitable for staining intracellular components of permeabilized cells due to potential high background.
1) Non-toxicity: belong to flower-stem dye, easy to biodegrade, no carcinogenic toxicity. 2) High sensitivity: at least 100pg ssDNA or RNA can be detected, which is 25 ~ 100 times higher than EB staining. 3) High SIGNal-to-noise ratio: the sample fluorescence signal is strong, while the background signal is low. 4) Simple operation: like EB, the dye does not degrade in the prefabricated gel and electrophoresis process;The dyeing process after electrophoresis takes only 30 minutes without decoloring or washing, and can be observed directly with ultraviolet gel transmission or visible light transmission.
1) Non-toxicity: The unique oiliness and high molecular weight characteristics of CelRed prevent it from penetrating cell membranes into cells, and Ames test results also show that the mutagenicity of CelRed dye is much less than EB. 2) High sensitivity:
