| Description: |
Cy3 azide is a Cy3 fluorescent dye-labelled azide (-N₃) reagent, whose core function is to undergo specific covalent coupling with bio-molecules containing an alkyne (-C≡CH) group (e.g., nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates) via ‘click chemistry’ (such as copper-catalysed alkyne - alkyne cycloaddition reaction, CuAAC) to achieve specific covalent coupling with biomolecules containing alkyne (-C≡CH) groups (e.g., nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates), thereby realising fluorescent labelling of biomolecules. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: |
Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide.
We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
