Bodipy Dye Oligo Labeling

BODIPY® Fluorophores

Bodipy® Dyes have a narrow spectral characteristics and are highly fluorescent that are often superior to those of fluorescein, tetramethylrhodamine, Texas Red and longer-wavelength dyes. These dyes are unusual in that they are:

  • Higher quantum yields
  • Narrower emission bandwidths
  • Greater photostability
  • Insensitive to pH changes
  • Useful for DNA sequencing because the dye exhibits minimal effect on the mobility of the fragment during electrophoresis

Bodipy labels are attached at the 5'- , Internal, or 3'- end of an oligonucleotide. In a post-synthetic step, the dye is coupled to an amino-modified oligo.

This compound requires amino- or thiol- linker with a 6-Carbon spacer arm or by substituting any Amino Modifier C6 dA, dT, dG, dC for internal labeling, a double HPLC purification is required.

Purification

A wide variety of modifications can be incorporated into an oligonucleotide at the time of synthesis, using aspecialized phosphoramidite chemistries for labeling. However, certain modifications require the use of post-synthetic conjugation strategies in which a primary amine modified oligonucleotide is covalently attached to a dye via NHS ester chemistry. Other cross-linking chemistries are also available depending on particular project specifications. Single HPLC purification is recommended when using phosphoramidite oligo chemistry, otherwise dual HPLC is required for post-synthetic labeling.

Minimum Guarantee Purified Yield

Due to the chemistry of many modifications, yield will be approximately 40 - 60 % less than a standard oligo. Please see our yield chart for details.

Quality Controls

Every oligo synthesized is strictly controlled for quality by using either MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry or polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) analysis.  Final yields are determined using UV absorbance at OD260.  In addition, we perform QC methods tailored to specific modifications, such as OD ratio measurement where appropriate.
