Description:
Cyanine3 tetrazine is a fluorescent dye with tetrazine moiety for a conjugation reaction called TCO (trans-cyclooctene) ligation. Actually, tetrazines react not only with trans-cyclooctenes, but also with (methyl)cyclopropenes and strained non-benzo-fused cycloalkynes.
Cyanine3 is a moderately hydrophobic dye, enabling labeling in non-aqueous environment as well as in aqueous media containing some organic co-solvent like acetonitrile or DMSO
Handling:
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.
