Description
FAM Amine is inactive form of bright green fluorescent dye used to generate a stable fluorescence signal in bioimaging. The maxima of Ex/Em values are at 494/522 nm, similar to that of Alexa 488 and Cy2. FAM might be excited using 488 nm laser line and displays good optical property. The primary amine is attached to the fluorophore through an ethylamino linkage. FAM amine can be coupled with carboxylic acids at small molecules or on biomolecules by standard amide bond coupling conditions or can be utilized as a reference standard for dye-conjugates.

Background
Other Labeling Dyes
BioActs provides other traditionally used dyes such as 5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein (FAM) and 5(6)-Carboxytetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA) dyes for labeling of biomolecules. FAM is one of popular green fluorescent reagents used for labeling peptides, proteins and nucleotides. In addition to relatively high absorptivity, good fluorescence quantum yield and good water solubility, FAM has an excitation maximum that closely matches the 488 nm spectral line of the argon-ion laser. TAMRA fluorophore has been a widely used for preparing bioconjugates, especially fluorescent antibody and avidin derivatives. TAMRA dye is also widely utilized for oligonucleotide labeling and automated DNA sequencing applications. TAMRA is often used as FRET acceptor for FAM fluorophore.
- Other fluorescent dyes such as Cyanine, ICG, TAMRA, FAM, etc. are also available.
- All dyes are equipped with various reactive and functional groups.
- High quality and excellent performance
