This chemical is widely used in bioconjugation and labeling applications, particularly in the field of molecular biology and biomedical research. Its structure, featuring PEG (polyethylene glycol) spacers and an NHS ester group, makes it highly effective for attaching fluorescent Cy5 dyes to biomolecules such as proteins, peptides, or antibodies. The PEG spacers enhance solubility and reduce steric hindrance, ensuring efficient labeling without disrupting the biological activity of the target molecule. The NHS ester group reacts specifically with primary amines, enabling stable covalent bonding. This compound is often employed in fluorescence imaging, flow cytometry, and immunoassays, where it helps visualize and track biological processes with high sensitivity and specificity. Its dual PEG chains also improve biocompatibility, making it suitable for in vivo applications.
