5(6)-TRITC is an amino-reactive labeling reagent that is widely used in preparing bioconjugates of proteins and nucleic acids. The resultant conjugates have similar spectral properties to those prepared from 5(6)-TAMRA, SE with improved stability. TRITC is widely used and has a multitude of applications beyond protein, peptide and nucleotide labeling For example, it can serve as an acceptor for FRET (Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer) based detection systems. FITC is recommended as a donor molecule in these FRET-based applications.
