5-FAM, single isomer

CAS Nr.: 76823-03-5

Product information "5-FAM, single isomer"

The single isomer 6-FAM (6-Carboxyfluorescein) is an amine-reactive derivative of Fluorescein giving stable derivatives upon conjugation with biopolymers. The single amine-reactive fluorescein derivatives 5-FAM > and 6-FAM > and the mixed isomers form 5/6-FAM > are the most common fluorescent derivatizing reagents for the covalently labeling of proteins. 

Carboxyfluorescein can be retained much better in cells than fluorescein since its pKa is lower than the cytosolic pH of most cells. 

5-FAM, 6-FAM and 5/6-FAM contain a carboxylic acid which can react with primary amines via carbodiimide activation. Carboxyfluorescein is commonly used as a polar tracer.

5/6 TAMRA

5/6-TAMRA is a mixtures of the 5' and 6' isomers of carboxytetramethylrhodamine (TMR) free acid. The non-activated single isomer carboxytetramethyl rhodamine derivative is used as a red fluorescent derivatization reagent for covalently labeling proteins and alkylamino modified nucleic acids. The fluorescence quantum yield of TAMRA conjugates is about one-fourth that of fluorescein conjugates. Nevertheless, TAMRA conjugates often appear brighter than the corresponding fluorescein conjugates due to the fact that TAMRA is readily excited by the 546nm spectral line from mercury-arc lamps used in most fluorescence microscopes and is intrinsically more photostable than fluorescein. TAMRA is also efficiently excited by the 543nm spectral line of the green He-Ne laser. Succinimidyl esters of 5-TAMRA >, 6-TAMRA > or of the mixed 5/6 TAMRA isomers > are the labeling reagents of choice for the preparation of fluorescent bioconjugates, including peptide, protein, nucleotide and nucleic acid conjugates, especially for fluorescent antibodies or avidine derivatives used in immunochemistry. These fluorescent dyes are also used as acceptors for FAM > fluorophores in FRET studies. More Fluorescent Dyes from Genaxxon: 5/6-TAMRA >, 5-TAMRA >, FAM >, ROX >, DAF-2 >.

6-ROX

6-ROX (6-carboxy-X-rhodamine) is a derivative of the amine-reactive carboxy-X-rhodamine (ROX). Compared to the fluoresceine family of dyes, Rhodamine dyes are more resistant to photo bleaching and stable over a wider pH range. The relatively long wavelength emission maximum for ROX makes it an attractive choice in multiplex detection systems. 5-ROX >, 6-ROX > and their mixture 5/6-ROX > are used in the labeling of biomolecules by EDC-mediated reactions. Derivatives of ROX are used in the labeling of proteins, peptides and other biological ligands. Succinimidyl ester with the derivative 5/6-carboxy-X-rhodamine (5(6) Carboxy-X-rhodaminsuccinimidylester / 5(6) ROX SE >) are frequently used in the oligonucleotide labeling and for automated applications in DNA sequencing. Genaxxon bioscience offers a wide range of fluorescent dyes for designing your probe or for other research purposes.
