Sulfo-Cy5 carboxylic acid is a non-activated, sulfonated, hydrophilic and highly water soluble dye. Non-Sulfo-Cy5 carboxylic acid analog is available. For kinds of researches related experiments, using pre-activated sulfo-Cy5 NHS ester is preferred. To labeling proteins and peptides, no organic co-solvent is needed. In life science, the sulfonate groups make the Cy dyes soluble in water and also reduce fluorescence-quenching which can arise from dye–dye interactions.
