Meso-Cl Cyanine 7 Free Acid 810353 1-(5-carboxypentyl)-2-((E)-2-((E)-2-chloro-3-(2-((E)-1,3,3-trimethylindolin-2-ylidene)ethylidene)cyclohex-1-en-1-yl)vinyl)-3,3-dimethyl-3H-indol-1-ium chloride
Meso-Cl cyanines have a similar fluorescent profile to traditional dyes such as fluorescein but have increased photostability and water solubility. These properties make these probes excellent for labelling amine groups such as those on antibodies, nucleic acids, and proteins and can be detected using a variety of fluorescence detection techniques such as microscopy and flow cytometry. What is unique about Meso-Cl cyanines is their high affinity for tumor cells resulting in a dye that targets tumor cells.
