Sulfo-Cyanine 5.5 is a far red emitting dye. Since almost no biological sources of fluorescence background emit in its range, this fluorophore provides great signal to noise ratio. This molecule is a modified deoxyuridine triphosphate (dUTP) that is a substrate to many enzymes including simple Taq polymerase. Due to its extended amino-11-linker, this reagent provides a better alternative to aminoallyl derived triphosphates with dyes. The QC of triphosphates includes HPLC-MS and enzymatic testing.
