6-ROX, SE

6-Carboxy-X-rhodamine, succinimidyl ester; CAS#: 216699-36-4

6-ROX, SE is the other purified single isomer of 5(6)-ROX, SE. 6-ROX is predominately used for labeling nucleotides and sequencing nucleic acids. Compared to other rhodamines, ROX is very unstable. Cautions must be exercised to prevent the deterioration during storage.
