Quasar 570 Carboxylic Acid
Quasar® 570 carboxy acid is used to label peptides, oligonucleotides or functionalized amines. Quasar 570 is an indocarbocyanine which fluoresces in the yellow-orange region of the visible spectrum; it excites at 548 nm and emits at 570 nm. This compound is a direct replacement for Cy™3. BHQ®-2 will quench the Quasar 570 moiety.
