The Amersham Cy5-dCTP Fluorescent Nucleotide, 25 nmol (PA55021) is a CyDye labelled nucleotide for non-radioactive fluorescent labelling of DNA probes, oligonucleotides and other nucleic acids. It is supplied as 25 nmol of Cy5-dCTP in 10 mM phosphate buffer at pH 7.0.
Key Features
- Cy5-dCTP fluorescent nucleotide, supplied as 5-amino-propargyl-2'-deoxycytidine 5'-triphosphate coupled to Cy5 fluorescent dye
- 25 nmol pack size, matching the listed CY5-DCTP variant for small-scale labelling workflows
- Far-red fluorescence output, with Cy5 emission maximum at 670 nm
- Strong absorbance profile, with an absorbance maximum of 649 nm
- High extinction coefficient, listed at 250000 M^-1 cm^-1 for Cy5
- Bright, spectrally resolved dye performance, supporting multiplexing where separated fluorescent signals are needed
- Low nonspecific binding and high water solubility, helping support fluorescence-based nucleic acid labelling workflows
- Frozen, light-protected storage, stored at -15 °C to -30 °C in the dark
Benefits
- Supports non-radioactive fluorescent labelling of DNA probes, oligonucleotides and other nucleic acids.
- Helps laboratories run multicolour analysis in workflows such as microarray detection and fluorescence-based probe analysis.
- Provides a defined 25 nmol format for controlled use in genomic labelling applications.
- Offers far-red Cy5 signal characteristics for workflows requiring a 670 nm fluorescence channel.
