Fluorescein-PEG5-Acid is a xanthene dye with excitation/emission maximum of 494/517 nm and a free terminal carboxyl acid. The terminal carboxylic acid can react with primary amine groups in the presence of activators (e.g. EDC, or HATU) to form a stable amide bond. It be used as quantum yield standard. Hydrophilic PEG spacer increases solubility in aqueous media and reduces steric hindrance during binding. Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.
