DBCO-containing Fluorescent Dyes

Dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO)*-containing fluorescent dyes can be used for the fluorescent labeling of Azide-tagged biomolecules via Cu(I)-free strain-promoted Alkyne-Azide Click Chemistry (SPAAC). Both Standard Dyes (e.g. Cy3, Tamra or Texas Red) and novel Alternative Dyes have been thoroughly selected to cover the whole UV-Vis spectrum.

*DBCO is also known as ADIBO (= Azadibenzocyclooctyne)
