Cyanine 3 azide

Cyanine 3 dye azide for Click Chemistry, an analog of Cy3® azide. Cy3® is one of the most broadly used fluorophores which can be detected by various fluorometers, imagers, and microscopes. Due to inherently high extinction coefficient, Cyanine 3 is also easily detected by naked eye on gels, and in solution. This is non-sulfonated dye which requires organic co-solvent (DMF, DMSO, or other) for efficient labeling in water. Water-soluble versions of this reagent are also available. This product is a 10 mM solution in DMSO, which is ready to use. Cyanine 3 fluorescent properties are identical to Cy3® , and similar to Alexa Fluor 546, and DyLight 549.
