Cyanine 5 amine is a reactive dye which contains amino group, an analog of Cy5® amine. This reagent can be coupled with a variety of activated esters and other electrophilic reagents. For example, this amine can be coupled with EDC-activated carboxylic groups. This bright and photostable dye is suitable for many different methods of fluorescence detection. Colorful fluorophore can also be easily detected in small quantities (nanomols) by naked human eye.
