N-(m-PEG4)-N'-(PEG2-NHS ester)-Cy5 is a cyanine labeled PEG derivative with excitation/emission maximum 649/667 nm containing a NHS ester group, which is an amine reactive group. Hydophilic PEG spacer increases solubility in aqueous media. This reagent can be utilized to produce Cyanine-labeled biomolecules for subsequent use such as in vivo research, and drug design related experiments.

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. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
