The Easiest Way to Label Any DNA or RNA with a Fluorescence Dye - Label IT Kits from Mirus Bio

GÖTTINGEN, Germany - Sept. 11, 2014 - PRLog -- Label IT® Nucleic Acid Labeling Reagents
Efficient, direct, non-enzymatic labeling of DNA and RNA

The Label IT® Technology is a non-enzymatic chemical labeling method that facilitates the direct covalent attachment of either fluorescent or non-fluorescent labels to any nucleic acid using a simple one-step chemical reaction. Mirus Bio optimized the Label IT® Technology for specialized applications including: FISH, microarrays, and nucleic acid visualization both in vitro and in vivo .

Highlights & Data

♦ Label Any DNA or RNA Template - Suitable for a wide range of applications.
♦ One-step Chemical Method - Easily and consistently control the labeling reactions.
♦ Adjustable Labeling Density - Achieve high sensitivity with optimally labeled DNA and RNA.
♦ Covalent Mechanism - Permanent, non-destructive modification of nucleic acid residues is ideal for many diverse applications; labels do not impact hybridization performance.

Available Label IT® Nucleic Acid Labeling Kits:
CX-Rhodamine
Fluorescein
Digoxin
Biotin
Cy®3
Cy®5
DNP
TM-Rhodamine

Kit Components:
Each Kit contains a Label IT® Reagent, Label IT® Reconstitution Solution, 10X Labeling Buffer and solutions.

NOTE: All the Label IT® Reagents use the same technology, but each attach different fluorophores with distinct excitation and emission spectra.

Displayed in Fig. 1:

The Label IT® chemical labeling reagents are composed of three regions: the label (fluorophore or hapten) (green), the linker (yellow) which facilitates electrostatic interactions with nucleic acids and the reactive alkylating group (blue) that covalently attaches the Label IT® reagent to any reactive heteroatom within the nucleic acids. Attachment of the Label IT® Reagents to nucleic acids does not alter the structure of the nucleic acid or affect downstream hybridization performance, and as such, nucleic acids labeled using the Label IT® Reagents can be employed in multiple applications as defined by the researcher.
