Product Information
- CY3
Cyanine dye 3 is a model system for studying the effect of steric interactions on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The fluorescence of this compound is activated by the addition of cell factor, which is found in cancer tissues. Cyanine dye 3 has been shown to increase the sensitivity and specificity of PCR detection in cancer tissues. It also enhances fluorescence when used with a fluorescence detector.
