| Targets |
No specific biological target. Sulfo-Cy7 carboxylic acid TEA is a fluorescent labeling reagent for the covalent conjugation to biomolecules containing primary amines via carbodiimide (EDC) coupling. The NIR emission (773 nm) allows for deep tissue penetration and minimal background autofluorescence, making it suitable for in vivo imaging, flow cytometry, and immunoassays.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Not applicable. Sulfo-Cy7 carboxylic acid TEA is a fluorescent dye for biomolecular labeling and is not used as a modulator of biological activity. The TEA salt form ensures consistent labeling efficiency and stable solutions. The dye can be conjugated to antibodies, proteins, peptides, and nanoparticles for imaging applications.
|
| ln Vivo |
Not applicable as a therapeutic agent. However, when conjugated to tumor-targeting antibodies or peptides, sulfo-Cy7 carboxylic acid TEA enables non-invasive near-infrared imaging of tumors in living animals. The dye provides high contrast and sensitivity for detecting small tumors due to its deep tissue penetration and low background.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Carboxylic acid activation and labeling (cell-free): Sulfo-Cy7 carboxylic acid TEA is dissolved in anhydrous DMSO (10 mg/mL). EDC (10-50 equivalents) and NHS (10-50 equivalents) are added and incubated for 15-30 min at room temperature to activate the carboxyl group. The activated dye is added to a protein solution (1-10 mg/mL in PBS, pH 7.4) and incubated for 2-4 h. Unreacted dye is removed by dialysis or size exclusion.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular imaging protocol: Cells are incubated with a sulfo-Cy7-labeled targeting ligand (e.g., antibody, 1-10 ug/mL) for 30-60 min at 4degC or 37degC. After washing, cells are fixed and counterstained with DAPI. Images are acquired using a NIR fluorescence microscope or confocal laser scanning microscope (excitation 730-760 nm, emission 770-800 nm).
|
| Animal Protocol |
NIR tumor imaging protocol: Tumor-bearing mice are injected intravenously with a sulfo-Cy7-labeled tumor-targeting antibody or peptide (1-10 mg of labeled conjugate per kg body weight). At 4-48 h post-injection, mice are anesthetized, and fluorescence images are acquired using an IVIS Spectrum or similar in vivo imaging system (excitation 745 nm, emission 800 nm). Signal-to-background ratios are calculated from regions of interest.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic data for sulfo-Cy7 carboxylic acid TEA alone are not reported, as it is a labeling reagent. The TEA salt form offers superior stability and a 3-year shelf life at -20degC compared to the free acid form. The dye is highly water-soluble due to its sulfonated structure, enabling direct aqueous conjugation without organic co-solvents.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Sulfo-Cy7 carboxylic acid TEA has low toxicity at imaging doses. No significant off-target effects or organ toxicity have been reported when used as a labeling reagent. The triethylammonium salt is not intended for human use. Standard safety precautions for handling dyes should be followed. The compound should be stored at -20degC in the dark.

Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*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.
