Cy3 azide

Manufactured by Lumiprobe
Sourced in Uruguay

Cy3-Azide is a fluorescent dye molecule that can be used for labeling biomolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, or small molecules. It contains a Cy3 fluorescent group and an azide functional group, which allows for the dye to be conjugated to target molecules through click chemistry reactions.

EdU Labeling and Immunostaining Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
EdU was given by intraperitoneal injection at a concentration of 5 µg g−1. For EdU staining, sections were permeabilized by incubation for 30 min in 0.5% Triton X-100 in PBS followed by 3 × 5-min washes in PBS. EdU staining solution was made fresh each time, containing 100 mM Tris, 4 mM CuSO4, and 100 mM ascorbic acid diluted in 1× PBS. The fluorescently labeled azide molecule was added last, and the staining cocktail was immediately added to sections for a 30-min incubation at room temperature (final concentrations of each fluorescent molecule: 4 mM AlexaFluor488-Azide [Click Chemistry Tools, 1275-1], 10 mM Cy3-Azide [Lumiprobe, A1330], 16 mM AlexaFluor647-Azide [Click Chemistry Tools, 1299-1]). After incubation, sections were washed 3 × 5 min in PBS. After EdU labeling, standard protocols were followed for immunostaining.

Visualizing DNA Synthesis in HeLa Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HeLa cells are cultured according to standard procedures and seeded 1 or 2 days before the treatment on 12 mm diameter #1 glass coverslips. HeLa cells are incubated with 10 μM EdU (5-Ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine, Lumiprobe) for 30 minutes at 37°C. The cells are fixed with 4% formaldehyde in PBS and permeabilised with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS. Click chemistry is performed with 9 μM Cy3-azide (Lumiprobe) and 2 mM CuSO4. To start the reaction, 20 mg/ml ascorbate (final concentration) is added, and the solution is used immediately to stain the cells. After 30 minutes, the cells are washed 3× with PBS, and the sample is incubated with 0.1 μg/ml DAPI for 5 minutes. Samples are mounted in Mowiol (24% glycerol (w/v), 0.1 g mL–1 polyvinylalchol 4.88, 0.1 M Tris-HCl (pH 8.5) in H2O) and used for observation with fluorescence microscopy.

Example 11

Cy3-MM was prepared in an analogous fashion to that reported for Cy5.5-MM. Briefly, 13.4 mg of Cy3-Azide (Lumiprobe) was added to a 2-dram vial. Next, 60 mg of an alkyne-containing macromonomer11 were added. The combined solids were transferred into a nitrogen-filled glovebox and dissolved in 1 mL of DCM. Next, a spatula tip of copper (I) acetate was added and the solution stirred for 1 h, after which time LC-MS analysis indicated full conversion of Cy3-Azide. The mixture was then concentrated and purified by preparative HPLC using an acetonitrile-0.1% AcOH in water gradient. The desired fractions were partially concentrated by rotary evaporation until ˜25% of the residual solvent remained, then 250 mL of DCM were added and the entire mixture was dried with sodium sulfate. The desired product was collected by removal of the sodium sulfate and concentration to yield Cy3-MM as a magenta solid. Calculated mass (M)+: 3698.84 found 3696.08 (see FIGS. 63A-63B).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
