Otava is offering two novel fluorescent dyes for biology and medicine, created using the company's lead-dye method.
Otava, who has an in-stock collection of approximately 2,000 dyes, said that this makes the discovery process faster and a positive result more predictable.
The company's collaboration with Sigma-Aldrich, based on the lead-dye method, resulted in the production of a novel, high-sensitive series of fluorescent dyes (Lucy) for nonspecific detection of proteins in gels; as well as the release of novel fluorescent stain Nancy-520 for dsDNA visualisation on agarose gels.
In collaboration with Biorad, Otava elaborated and synthesised novel long-wavelength fluorescent probes for unspecific detection of proteins in separation systems.
