Fluorescent Dye-Labeled Peptides

We are pleased to offer a broad range of premium fluorescent dyes that span the whole visible and near infrared spectrum, for incorporation into your custom peptides.

Our Offer

A peptide can be labeled with a single or multiple dye(s) at the peptide N-terminus, C-terminus, or internally, for applications in protein interaction studies, to trace the presence of biomolecules in cells, enzyme activity assays, etc.
For peptides labeled with a dye and quencher, see our FRET peptides page.

Our fluorescent dyes span the whole visible and near infrared spectrum

HiLyte™ Fluor Dyes (pH insensitive)

HiLyte™ Fluor dyes are ideal for applications at high or low pH (<4 or >11). These dyes also exhibit higher sensitivities, owing to their enhanced intensity and photostability.

NameAbs/EmApplications
HiLyte Fluor 488497/525 nmFRET Assays, tracing or interaction studies
HiLyte Fluor 555550/566 nmFRET, Labeling
HiLyte Fluor 647650/675 nmFRET/TR-FRET, Labeling
HiLyte Fluor 750753/778 nmImaging

Classical Dyes

Classical dyes such as FAM, TAMRA and the CyLyte Fluor dyes (Cy Dyes analogues) are a great cost-effective choice when operational pH range of your application is flexible.®

Mca 325/393 nm FRET
EDANS 335/493 nm FRET
FAM 492/518 nm FRET, Labeling
FITC 494/519 nm Labeling

Rox 568/591 nm FRET, Labeling
CyLyte Fluor 5 648/663 nm FRET/TR-FRET, Labeling
CyLyte Fluor 7 750/773 nm FRET, Labeling

Fluorogenic Substrates

Fluorogenic substrates do not require a quencher and contain a C-terminal dye that does not fluoresce until it is cleaved from the peptide (fluorescent form of dye is released).

Name Abs/Em Applications
AMC 351/430 nm Fluorogenic substrates
AFC 382/480 nm Fluorogenic substrates
Rh110 501/527 nm Fluorogenic substrates
