5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (5/6-FAM SE)

Supplier: Biotium

5(6)-FAM SE (full name: 5-(and-6)-Carboxyfluorescein, succinimidyl ester mixed isomers) is an amine-reactive green fluorescent dye widely used for labeling proteins or other molecules that contain a primary or secondary aliphatic amine. The coupling reaction is usually carried out at pH 8-9.5. The amide linkage from the coupling reaction is much more stable than the thiourea linkage formed from the coupling of an amine and an isothiocyanate.

Carboxyfluorescein (commonly called FAM) and its amine-reactive succinimidyl esters are favored over FITC in bioconjugations.

NHS fluorescein [(5/6-carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester), mixed isomer] is an amine reactive derivative of fluorescein dye for antibodies and other probes in fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence based assays such as western blotting and ELISA.

Supplier: Merck

5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (5(6)-FAM SE, FLUOS) may be used to prepare fluorescent derivatives of proteins such as tubulin and for the preparation of a phenytoin tracer for the determination of this and other drugs in serum and plasma by fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA) and laser-induced fluorescence detection.
