Title: Water soluble fluoro-substituted cyanine dyes as reactive fluorescence labelling reagents
Inventor: COOPER MICHAEL EDWARD
IPC: G01N33/58
Filed: 2006-04-18
Granted: 2012-05-24
Abstract: Disclosed are cyanine dyes that are useful for labelling and detecting biological and other materials. The dyes are of formula (I): [Insert compounds here] (I) in which at least one of groups R, R, R, R, R, R, R, R, R, R R, R, R and R is -L-M or -L-P, where L is a linking group, M is a target bonding group and P is a conjugated component, and at least one of groups R, R, R, R, R, R, R and R comprises fluorine. The use of cyanine dyes substituted by fluorine and having additional substitution with three or more sulphonic acid groups for labelling biological target molecules results in a labelled product in which there is reduced dye-dye aggregation and improved photostability, compared with cyanine dyes having no such substitutions. The dyes of the present invention are particularly useful in assays involving fluorescence detection where continual or repeated excitation is a requirement, for example in kinetic studies, or in microarray analyses where microarray slides may need to be reanalysed over a period of days.
