Product Description
Cyanine5 NHS ester chloride is a red fluorescent dye used to label amino groups in peptides, proteins and oligonucleotides.
Cyanine5 NHS ester chloride (CAS#: 1032678-42-4) is an amine-reactive NHS ester derivative of the Cyanine5 (Cy5) fluorophore. The compound contains an NHS ester functional group that reacts with primary amines on biomolecules to form stable amide bonds. Cy5 exhibits excitation and emission maxima around 646 nm and 662 nm, respectively, placing it in the far-red region of the spectrum. The chloride salt form provides good solubility. Cy5 is one of the most commonly used fluorescent dyes for labeling biomolecules and is widely used in flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy, and various other fluorescence-based applications.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The NHS ester functional group on Cyanine5 NHS ester chloride targets primary amines (-NH₂) on biomolecules such as proteins, antibodies, and peptides. The compound does not target specific enzymes or receptors but serves as a covalent labeling reagent that attaches the Cy5 fluorophore to amine-containing biomolecules.
ln Vitro
End-capping Poly(β-amino esters) (pBAEs) backbones are achieved by reacting the free amino group on the cysteine amino acid with cyanine-5 NHS ester amine-reactive red emitting fluorescent dye[1].
The in vitro activity of Cyanine5 NHS ester chloride is characterized by its strong far-red fluorescence, with excitation and emission maxima around 646 nm and 662 nm. The far-red emission provides low background fluorescence and is compatible with various fluorescence-based detection methods. The compound is widely used for labeling antibodies and proteins.
ln Vivo
Cyanine5 NHS ester chloride is not used as a therapeutic agent. Its in vivo utility is as a labeling reagent for fluorescence imaging applications. When conjugated to targeting ligands, the dye enables fluorescence imaging for tracking biodistribution and target engagement in animal models.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro labeling assays for Cyanine5 NHS ester chloride involve incubating the NHS ester with amine-containing biomolecules in appropriate buffers (typically pH 7-9). The reaction proceeds through nucleophilic attack of the primary amine on the NHS ester carbonyl, forming a stable amide bond. Labeling efficiency can be assessed by measuring the fluorescence intensity of the conjugated product.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cellular experiments, Cyanine5 NHS ester chloride is first conjugated to antibodies, proteins, or other targeting ligands via the NHS ester-amine reaction. The labeled conjugates are then purified and added to cell culture medium for incubation with target cells. After washing, cells are analyzed by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry. The far-red fluorescence provides low background and excellent signal-to-noise ratio.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo animal experiments, Cyanine5 NHS ester chloride is conjugated to targeting ligands and administered to animal models. The far-red emission provides good tissue penetration and low background fluorescence. Conjugates bearing Cy5 can be administered to animal models for tracking biodistribution and target engagement.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of Cyanine5 NHS ester chloride have not been extensively characterized. The compound has a molecular weight of approximately 807.78 g/mol. It should be stored at -20°C, protected from light. The NHS ester is moisture-sensitive and should be handled under anhydrous conditions.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for Cyanine5 NHS ester chloride has not been systematically evaluated, as the compound is intended for research applications only and not for therapeutic use. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be observed.

Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (3.38 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (3.38 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?

  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • 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
