F5001 – (CAG)5-Cy3 – 5 nmole

The (CAG)5-Cy3 probe is a synthetic PNA probe targeting CAG trinucleotide repeats, labeled with Cy3 for red fluorescence in FISH applications. These CAG repeats are associated with genetic disorders such as Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1) and Huntington’s Disease, making this probe valuable for both diagnostic and research use.

Its PNA structure provides superior binding specificity and resistance to enzymatic degradation. The Cy3 label ensures bright signal and clear imaging in red channels—ideal for high-resolution chromosomal repeat mapping.

Each vial contains 5 nmole, which is usually good enough to stain more than 500 slides.
