Merck, 8400MN6-1EA, Conjugated Polymer Nanoparticle (CPN)

General description
CPNs are extremely bright and stable fluorophore nanoparticles which have been shown to give exceptional performance in a wide range of fluorescent analysis applications, such as lateral flow tests, fluorescent ELISA, cell tracking, immunofluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry and western blot. CPNs are resistant to photobleaching and a wide range of temperatures (-20°C to 120°C) and pH (2 to 12). They have been shown to be 1000x brighter than other fluorophores bringing exceptional levels of detection to assays and diagnostics.
Application
Thiol Oligonucleotide Conjugation kit allows covalent linkage reactions to be readily carried out without access to specialist chemistry capabilities. The kit is designed to be specific for CPN – oligonucleotide linkage, has a rapid reaction time of 60 minutes in two steps, and comes in three sizes for the conjugation of ~6nmole, ~18nmole and ~60nmole of oligonucleotide. CPNs are available in a range of emission wavelengths covering the visible and IR spectrum.
