Must-see Ca-cy5 Twin Pack [ocR3wtvn]

HaloTag is a self-labeling protein tag engineered from the haloalkane dehalogenase DhaA, originally isolated from Rhodococcus rhodochrous. Its active site binds chloroalkane (CA)substrates, forming an irreversible covalent bond. This stable linkage between the HaloTag protein and its ligand enables rapid and efficient isolation and purification of tagged proteins. Must-see Ca-cy5 Twin Pack [ocR3wtvn] is a HaloTag ligand with Cyanine5 dye. Cy5 (Cyanine 5, 649Ex/710Em) dyes are known for their strong fluorescence, good photostability, and broad absorption spectra. The far-red emission minimizes interference from cellular autofluorescence. Cy5 can be used in combination with other fluorescent dyes (e.g., Cy3, GFP) to enable multicolor imaging, where multiple targets can be visualized simultaneously.
