Fluorescent Red Mega 480

CAS 540528-00-5C26H30N2O7SBiochemicals & Reagents

Fluorescent Red Mega 480 (CAS: 540528-00-5), with the empirical formula C26H30N2O7S and a molecular weight of 514.59 g/mol, is a specialized fluorescent dye. It is distinguished by a large Stoke's shift, making it suitable for multicolor techniques and direct excitation by argon lasers. This dye is ideal for applications requiring independent detection of multiple labels within the same experiment, such as DNA sequencing and FISH microscopy, owing to its direct conversion of light into emission.

01 /Applications

Multicolor Techniques

Fluorescent Red Mega 480 is designed for multicolor applications, enabling the independent detection of multiple labels in a single experiment due to its distinct emission wavelength. Its large Stoke's shift is advantageous for this purpose.

Fluorescence Microscopy

The dye is well-suited for FISH microscopy and other fluorescence-based imaging techniques. It can be excited by common light sources like argon lasers, and its emission is distinct from other widely used fluorophores.

DNA Sequencing

With its efficient light conversion and distinct spectral properties, Fluorescent Red Mega 480 has potential applications in DNA sequencing technologies. Its direct emission mechanism is beneficial for such precise analytical methods.

02 /Properties

Molecular weight	514.59
Empirical formula	C26H30N2O7S
Assay	≥90% (HPLC)
Storage temperature	2-8°C
Application	Fluorescent red Mega 480 and other Mega dyes are specifically designed for multicolor techniques. It is characterized by an extremely large stoke′s shift between excitation and emission maxima. This dye is especially well suited for excitation by argon lasers or other short wavelength excitation light. This also means, that it can be excited with the same light source or filter arrangement than fluorescein and other widely used dyes as well as other Mega dyes. Due to the different emission wavelength several different labels can be detected independently in the same experiment. Due to the small size of the Mega-labels and the direct conversion of excitation light into emission without using a FRET mechanism we foresee a variety of possible applications including DNA sequencing and FISH microscopy.
