6-FAM as a common fluorescent derivatization reagent for covalent labelling of synthetic oligonucleotides.

6-FAM structure image
Key Features of 6-FAM
6-FAM consists of one isomer derived from 6-carboxy fluorescein
Couples to the 5'-end of the oligonucleotide using standard synthesis protocols
Protecting groups on the fluorescein moiety are removed under standard conditions of cleavage and deprotection with concentrated ammonia
A detritylation step is not required since the fluorescein phosphoramidite does not contain a DMT-group
The labeled oligonucleotide is ready for use in most applications after the evaporation of ammonia—standard procedures can be used if additional purification is required
Lot-to-lot consistent purity and performance
Manufactured under a certified ISO 9000 quality system since 1993
