Product Description
6-ROX (6-Carboxy-X-rhodamine) is a novel fluorescent oligonucleotide marker, acting as an acceptor molecule coupled to 5-FAM as the donor in FRET imaging.
6-ROX (CAS 194785-18-7), also known as 6-Carboxy-X-rhodamine, is a novel fluorescent oligonucleotide marker, acting as an acceptor molecule coupled to 5-FAM as the donor in FRET imaging. It has a molecular formula of C₃₃H₃₀N₂O₅ and a molecular weight of 534.60. 6-ROX is predominantly used to label nucleotides and for DNA sequencing. It has excitation/emission wavelengths of 570/591 nm. The compound is a fluorescent marker of oligonucleotides and acts as a receptor coupled to 5-FAM and as a donor in FRET imaging. It is a rhodamine-class fluorescent dye.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of 6-ROX is not a biological receptor or enzyme, but rather the oligonucleotide or biomolecule to which it is conjugated for detection purposes. As a fluorescent labeling reagent, 6-ROX is used to label nucleotides and oligonucleotides for DNA sequencing and FRET imaging applications. The carboxy group on the compound can be activated to form reactive esters that react with amines on nucleotides or other biomolecules. The labeled oligonucleotides can then be used as probes in various fluorescence-based assays, including FRET imaging, where 6-ROX acts as an acceptor molecule coupled to 5-FAM as the donor.
ln Vitro
In vitro, 6-ROX is used as a fluorescent marker for oligonucleotides and nucleotides. It is predominantly used to label nucleotides and for DNA sequencing. The compound has excitation/emission wavelengths of 570/591 nm. It acts as an acceptor molecule coupled to 5-FAM as the donor in FRET imaging. The labeled oligonucleotides can be used as probes in various fluorescence-based assays, including DNA sequencing, PCR, and hybridization assays. The compound's fluorescence properties allow for sensitive detection of target nucleic acids in complex biological samples.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies of 6-ROX are limited, as the compound is primarily used as an in vitro research reagent for labeling and detection. However, fluorescent dyes like 6-ROX may be used in animal models for imaging applications, such as tracking oligonucleotides or cells in vivo. In such studies, labeled oligonucleotides are administered to animals, and their distribution and fate are monitored by fluorescence imaging. The compound's fluorescence properties enable sensitive detection in biological samples. No extensive in vivo pharmacological or toxicological studies have been reported.
Enzyme Assay
For fluorescence characterization, 6-ROX is dissolved in an appropriate solvent (e.g., DMSO, methanol, or aqueous buffer) and its absorption and emission spectra are measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer and fluorescence spectrometer, respectively. Excitation and emission maxima are determined (Ex=570 nm, Em=591 nm). For labeling reactions, the carboxy group of 6-ROX is activated to an NHS ester using EDC and NHS. The activated ester is then reacted with the target oligonucleotide or nucleotide containing a primary amine group in a buffer at pH 7.0-8.5 for 1-2 hours at room temperature. The labeled product is purified by HPLC or other methods. The labeling efficiency is assessed by measuring the absorbance or fluorescence of the labeled product.
Cell Assay
For cellular studies, 6-ROX-labeled oligonucleotides or probes are used to stain cells or to detect specific nucleic acid sequences in cells. Cells are cultured and fixed, then incubated with the labeled probe. After washing, cells are analyzed by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry using appropriate filter sets for excitation at 570 nm and emission at 591 nm. For FRET imaging, 6-ROX-labeled probes are used in combination with 5-FAM-labeled probes to study molecular interactions.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo imaging studies, 6-ROX-labeled oligonucleotides are administered to animals via intravenous or intraperitoneal injection. The distribution and fate of the labeled molecules are monitored using an in vivo imaging system equipped with appropriate excitation and emission filters. Tissues and organs may be collected at various time points for ex vivo fluorescence imaging or homogenization for fluorometric analysis. However, such studies are not typical for this compound.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for 6-ROX are not available, as the compound is used as a research reagent rather than a therapeutic agent. If used in vivo, the compound would be expected to have distribution to various tissues. However, no dedicated ADME studies have been reported. The compound is primarily used in vitro and is not intended for in vivo pharmacokinetic characterization.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for 6-ROX are limited, as the compound is used as a research reagent. The compound is generally considered to have low toxicity at the concentrations used for labeling and staining applications. No acute toxicity, mutagenicity, or carcinogenicity data have been reported. As with all chemical reagents, appropriate safety precautions should be taken when handling 6-ROX, including the use of personal protective equipment and work in a well-ventilated area.

  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
