Cyanine5 alkyne for Click Chemistry, an analog of Cy5 alkyne. With this product, deeply colored, and photostable Cyanine5 fluorophore can be attached to various molecules via Click Chemistry reaction with azides. This alkyne is non-water soluble, but it can be dissolved in DMF or DMSO prior to reaction, and added to aqueous reaction mixture. With our labeling protocol, the labeling reaction is very efficient, and high-yielding. Various substrates bearing azides can be used for the labeling, including azido-labeled biomolecules, polymers, and solid surfaces.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C.
