Fluorescein (FAM) amine, isomerically pure dye (5-isomer). Unlike fluoresceinamine, this reagent contains a linker arm with an aliphatic amine group that is more reactive. It can react with electrophilic reagents like activated esters or epoxides, and be involved in enzymatic transamination.

DAPI, blue fluorescent nucleic acid stain

DAPI (4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) is a blue-emitting fluorescent DNA dye used for chromosome staining and as a nuclear counterstain in fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry.

AF 343 (Coumarin) X NHS ester

AF 343 (Coumarin) is a blue emitting dye that can serve as a FRET donor for fluorescein (FAM). This structure features a linker between Coumarin 343 fluorophore, and the functional group. It provides better solubility, and spatial separation between the dye, and the functional group.
