Description:
Cyanine5.5 maleimide is a thiol reactive dye which is capable of selective labeling of sulfhydryl groups in proteins, an analog of Cy5.5? maleimide.
Near infrared emission of Cyanine5.5 makes this dye suitable for bioimaging applications.
Cyanine5.5 can replace Cy5.5?, Alexa Fluor 680, and DyLight 680.
