TAG Copenhagen now offers Black Hole Quenchers

Late last year TAG Copenhagen received a license from Biosearch Technologies to synthesise probes labelled with Black Hole Quenchers (BHQ). Already now several of our customers in Denmark and outside have tested these new BHQ probes with good results.

A new class of high-efficiency dark quenchers

Custom-synthesized hybridization probes incorporate spectrally paired fluorophores and quenchers, each covalently linked to minimize interference with probe-target hybridization. The BHQ dyes are a new class of high-efficiency dark quenchers that prevent fluorescence until a hybridization event occurs. These powerful and highly specific dyes enable the identification and quantification of a variety of biomolecules.

Prices starts at DKK 1.500 for one quencher probe labelled with 5'-Fam and 3'-BHQ synthesised in 40nmol scale. TAG Copenhagen guarantees to deliver a minimum of 1 OD of purified product. All BHQ probes are purified by RP-HPLC and controlled by Maldi-Tof MassSpec. Purification and QC is included in the price.

For larger scales or other labels please inquire about the price.
