Aqua 431 dUTP

Aqua 431 [DEAC] dUTP is a coumarin derivative that can replace TTP in reactions in which it serves as a substrate for E. coli DNA polymerase (holoenzyme and Klenow fragment), T4 and Taq DNA polymerases, reverse transcriptase (from AMV and M-MuLV) and terminal transferase. Fluorescently labelled probes can be prepared with this fluorescent nucleotide by a variety of methods including nick translation, random prime labelling, cDNA labelling and 3’-end labelling. Probes generated by these methods are suitable for use for the identification of specific sequences by in situ hybridization procedures on fixed cells and tissues by direct fluorescence detection. Aqua 431 dUTP can also be used for multicolor fluorescence labelling.
