Methylene Blue belongs to the phenothiazine family of dyes and is a unique dye with many useful properties. Despite its high extinction coefficient in the visible region, it is weakly fluorescent due to its high intersystem crossing rate from the S1 excited state to the T1 triplet state. This property makes it an excellent photosensitizer and has been widely used for the production of highly reactive single linear oxygen species. Methylene blue-labeled oligonucleotides can be directly observed by common visualization methods such as gel electrophoresis. The methylene blue labeling method is applicable to various types of oligonucleotides, including DNA and RNA oligonucleotides, as well as oligonucleotides with modifying groups.
BOC Sciences can provide custom synthesis services for methylene blue labeled oligonucleotides. When designing an experiment, we need to select the length and type of oligonucleotide according to the customer's requirements, and then design a suitable experimental protocol. After completing the custom synthesis, the product needs to be characterized and validated for application to ensure that the product obtained is the target product. Throughout the process, strict quality control is required to ensure the consistency and high quality of the product.
BOC Sciences provides oligonucleotide labeling services to our customers. In addition to labeling with methylene blue, we also offer a variety of types of labeling molecules to our customers. If you are interested in our services, feel free to contact us.
