SIMA Azide, 6-Isomer is a fluorescent dye based on dichloro-diphenyl-fluorescein (SIMA), with an azide (-N3) group at the 6th position. It has spectral properties similar to HEX but offers a higher quantum yield, making it brighter and more effective for molecular detection.
Key Features:
- Structure: Contains an azide group for chemical reactions.
- Reactivity: Performs copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne click reactions (CuAAC).
- Fluorescence: Emits visible light with enhanced brightness.
Applications:
- Bioconjugation: Labels proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids.
- Imaging: Tracks live cells and tissues with fluorescent signals.
- Drug Development: Supports targeted therapies and drug delivery.
- Diagnostics: Works in PCR probes and biosensors.
- Nanotechnology: Functionalizes surfaces and creates smart materials.
- Research: Monitors pathways and metabolic processes.
- Theranostics: Combines therapy and diagnostics for personalized medicine.
