Cy®3 is a bright, water-soluble, and pH insensitive orange-fluorescent dye that can be excited using the 532nm or 555nm laser line and visualised with TRITC (tetramethylrhodamine) filter sets. Cy3 conjugates give less background than TAMRA and most other commonly used fluorescent dyes.
The orange-fluorescent Cy®3 Alkyne can be reacted with azides via a copper-catalysed click reaction (CuAAC). Cy®3 is a water-soluble, bright fluorescent label that can be used in place of Alexa Fluor® 555, DyLight® 549 and other dyes excitable at a wavelength of 532 or 555nm.
This sulfonated dye is also known as sulfo-Cyanine3 Alkyne. Cy® Dye is a trademark of GE Healthcare.
