Cy5.5 (Sulfo-Cyanine5.5) is a near-infrared cyanine fluorescent dye used to label peptides, proteins, antibodies, and oligonucleotides for imaging and biodistribution studies. It is water-soluble, supplied as a purple to purplish-red solid, and exhibits strong absorption and emission in the near-infrared region (Ex 680 nm, Em 710 nm). Conjugation to biomolecules can be achieved using standard reactive derivatives.
