Cy-dyes
Cambridge Research Biochemicals has the exclusive licence from GE Healthcare - Amersham Biosciences to label peptides and other biomolecules (proteins, antibodies or oligonucleotides) with the whole range of Cyanine dyes: Cy™ dyes available, most commonly labelled with Cy™3B and Cy™5. CRB can provide FRET pairs, typically Cy™3B/Cy™5Q. We have been attaching these dyes singularly as mono-labelled peptides and doubly (donor/acceptor) since 2001, so have acquired a wealth of experience and knowledge of working with the Cy™ dye range.
Cydyes™ are available at wavelengths covering the spectrum as follows:

Use our dye selector to match up your wavelength requirement with dyes available, or if you would prefer a CRB representative to talk you through the choices of labelling a peptide (or biomolecule) with a dye, please contact us.
