DusQ® 21 is a dark quencher used as an acceptor in FRET applications, it has absorption maximum 656 nm, and can be used in multiplex assays due to the lack of secondary fluorescence. It is a quencher of choice for pairing with fluorescent dyes that emit in the red and near-infrared part of the range. DusQ 21 NHS ester derivative is used for labeling with the primary amines of amine-containing molecules. It can be used for quenching of many fluorophores, including Cyanine5, Cyanine5.5, AF 647.

QSY 21 NHS, a dark quencher is an efficient energy transfer acceptor of the far red and NIR fluorescent probes. QSY 21 NHS works in the wavelength range of 540-750 nm, and is frequently used in FRET applications. QSY 21 NHS does not emit fluorescence in normal conditions. NHS esters can be used to label the primary amines (R-NH2) of proteins, amine-modified oligonucleotides, and other amine-containing molecules[1].
