Cy dyes

Cy dyes, or cyanine dyes, are fluorescent molecules used in biological research to label and visualize specific proteins, DNA, or RNA. When these dyes are attached to molecules, they emit bright light under certain types of microscopes or detectors, allowing scientists to track and measure biological processes with high sensitivity. Cy dyes are valued for their stability, brightness, and ability to be used in multiple experiments simultaneously due to their distinct colors. They are essential tools in techniques like fluorescence microscopy and molecular imaging, helping researchers better understand cellular functions and genetic information.
