IRIS™ Dyes have been proved to be very effective in labeling and detection of nucleic acids. In microarrays experiments IRIS™ 3 and IRIS™ 5 showed better incorporation and higher signal than the analogue Cy3 and Cy5.
To label amino modified nucleotides or oligonucleotides, choose IRIS™ Dyes NHS active esters.
