Cy7 NHS ester

The structure of Cyanine7 features rigidized design of central polymethyne chain. This molecular reinforcement allows to increase quantum yield by 20% compared with parent structure, increasing fluorescence brightness. NIR fluorophores can be used to take advantage of near infrared window of biological tissues - increased transparency of tissues in this spectral region allows to carry out in vivo imaging. This reagent can be utilized to produce Cyanine7-labeled biomolecules for subsequent use in various in vivo research, and drug design related experiments.
