TET azide, 6-isomer

TET azide, 6-isomer

TET (tetrachlorofluorescein) is a green-fluorescent fluorescein derivate with absorption maximum at 519 nm and emission maximum at 535 nm. TET is spectrally similar to R6G, JOE, and VIC, widely used for labeling PCR probes. Oligonucleotides labeled with TET are often used in real-time PCR; the preparation of such oligonucleotides can be performed using click chemistry. This derivative is an azide, a pure 6-isomer, for conjugating TET to other molecules by copper-catalyzed and copper-free click reactions.
