CyDyes are a group of bright fluorescent dyes which can be used in genomic and protein research. Cy dye labelled nucleotides exhibit the following properties:
High sensitivity.
Low nonspecific binding.
High photostability.
High water solubility.
pH insensitive.
For labeling DNA and RNA probes, especially for multicolor analysis in microarrays, FISH, chromosome identification, whole chromosome painting, karyotyping, and gene mapping.
CyDye labeled nucleotides are available in a range of bright, intense colors with narrow emission bands, well suited for multiplexing within a single sample.
