6-ROXtra™ SE *Superior 6-ROX Replacement*
Although ROX dyes have strong fluorescence they are notoriously unstable. Some commercial samples only have a few months' shelf life. Compared to 6-ROX labeling compounds our 6-ROXtra™ dyes have greatly enhanced stability while they have essentially identical spectral properties to those of 6-ROX when conjugated to a biological substrate (such as oligonucleotides). In addition, our 6-ROXtra™ dyes are much more water-soluble than 6-ROX dyes that are essentially insoluble in water and aqueous buffers. Our preliminary studies indicated that 6-ROXtra-derived oligos are more easily purified than the corresponding 6-ROX oligos in most cases. When conjugated to proteins, the fluorescence of 6-ROX is severely quenched while 6-ROXtra™ still shows strong fluorescence.
