Quasar®570 and Quasar®670 dyes are two cyanine derivatives of Cyanine 3 and Cyanine 5, respectively. These two fluorophores differ in structure simply by the number of carbons in the conjugated polyene linkage. Cyanine dyes are a popular oligonucleotide modification and are commonly used for imaging, flow cytometry, and genomic applications. With Quasar®570-dT and Quasar®670-dT, these dyes can be incorporated internally without disrupting base pairing or stacking. Monomers can be inserted as a replacement for a dT residue.
Particularly for Quasar® 670-dT, the use of UltraMILD monomers is preferred. (Catalog Numbers: dA: 10-1601-xx, dC: 10-1015-xx, dG: 10-1621-xx, dT: 10-1030-xx). To avoid any exchange of the iPr-Pac group on the dG with acetyl, use the UltraMILD Cap Mix A (40-4210-xx/40-4212-xx). 0.02M Iodine for oxidation is recommended.

Usage
Coupling: 10 minute coupling time recommended. The use of UltraMILD monomers are preferred. (Catalog Numbers: dA: 10-1601-xx, dC: 10-1015-xx, dG: 10-1621-xx, dT: 10-1030-xx). To avoid any exchange of the iPr-Pac group on the dG with acetyl, use the UltraMILD Cap Mix A (40-4210-xx/40-4212-xx). 0.02M Iodine for oxidation is recommended.
Deprotection: If UltraMILD reagents were used, deprotect in 0.05M Potassium Carbonate in Methanol for 4 hours at Room Temperature OR for 2 hours at Room Temperature in 30% Ammonium Hydroxide. If standard bases were used, deprotection in Ammonium Hydroxide at Room Temperature for 24 hours will give acceptable yields. However, the oligonucleotide will require additional purification.
