Aminoallyl-dUTP-XX-Cy3

Aminoallyl-dUTP-XX-Cy3 is recommended for direct enzymatic labeling of DNA/cDNA e.g. by PCR and Nick Translation. It is incorporated as substitute for its natural counterpart dTTP. The resulting Dye-labeled DNA/cDNA probes are ideally suited for fluorescence hybridization applications such as FISH or microarray-based gene expression profiling. Optimal substrate properties and thus labeling efficiency is ensured by an optimized linker attached to the C5 position of uridine. Higher incorporation and thus labeling rates can be achieved compared to Aminoally-dUTP-Cy3 (NU-803-Cy3).
