WellRED Oligos

Designed for use with the CEQ/GeXP Genetic Analysis Systems, we are pleased to offer WellRED dye-labeled oligos under our license from Beckman Coulter, Inc. In addition to their designed application, these labeled oligos may also be used in direct hybridization or PCR amplification. WellRED dye-labeled oligos are DNA oligonucleotides labeled with WellRED dyes, D2, D3 or D4, at the 5'end.

Benefits of WellRED Dye Chemistry

WellRED oligos use cyanine-based fluorescent dyes with high extinction coefficients that absorb in the near-infrared region, thereby reducing background noise from biological materials, resulting in highly sensitive detection.
The CEQ/GeXP Genetic Analysis Systems enable DNA samples to be kept in linear form during analysis. The CEQ/GeXP Genetic Analysis Systems' online denaturation process prevents any reformation of secondary structures, especially during a long run without any manual steps.
WellRED dye chemistry and pre-heating enable the CEQ/GeXP Genetic Analysis Systems to resolve complex structures, where other systems fail.
