MTS CF® Dyes have a fast-reacting and highly selective thiol-reactive methanethiosulfonate (MTS) group, that allows CF® dyes to be conjugated to thiols. CF® dyes are Biotium's line of next-generation fluorescent dyes with advantages in brightness, photostability, and conjugate specificity compared to other fluorescent dyes. Deep-red fluorescent CF®594 dye has excitation/emission at 593/614 nm.
