Cy3 NT Labeling Kit

• Catalog Number: orb533476
• Category: Assays and Kits
• Description: Cy3 Nick Translation Labeling Kit contains all reagents (except template and materials for purification of the probe) required for nick translation labeling providing a highly efficient, easy-to-perform and rapid labeling technology. The kit is recommended for direct enzymatic labeling of DNA. The Cy3 NT labeling mix contains specially optimized dUTP-XX-Cy3 for incor-poration into DNA by nick translation using DNA Polymerase I. The excellent stability and quantum yield of the fluorophore combined with a high incorporation rate of the dye-dUTP complex makes it the ideal choice for a broad range of fluorescence applications. Nick translation labeling is based on the reverse activities of Polymerase I and DNase I. DNase I is able to introduce randomly distributed nicks to double stranded DNA at low enzyme concen-trations. The 5'→3' exonuclease activitiy of Polymerase I removes nucleotides from the 3' side of the nick while synthesizing a partial new complementary strand using the 3'-OH termini as primer. In presence of dye-labeled dUTP Polymerase I incorporates labeled dUTP instead of dTTP. The well balanced polymerase/nuclease activities of the enzyme mix ensure the generation of highly labeled double stranded DNA fragments. The resultant DNA is suited for application in FISH, microarray gene expression profiling and other nucleic acid hybridization assays. Protect fluorescent labeled dUTP from light and carry out experimen-tal procedures in low light conditions.
