With an excellent stability profile, ferrocene has always attracted considerable interest for DNA labelling to generate probes for electrochemical detection. Based on our Amino-Modifier C6-dT structure, Ferrocene-dT is easily added to oligonucleotides with no disruption of regular hybridization behavior. Multiple incorporations into an oligonucleotide probe are also simply achieved. Oligonucleotides are deprotected using standard techniques. Ferrocene oligonucleotides should be stored under Argon and aqueous solutions should be degassed immediately.
