Custom dyes
The instrument can run assays designed with custom dyes. Custom dyes include the following options:
•
Dyes that are not supplied by Thermo Fisher Scientific.
•
Dyes or formulations of dyes that are not system dyes for the instrument.
To use a custom dye on the instrument, review the following requirements.
•
Calibrate the instrument for the custom dye (see “Calibrate custom dyes” on page 113).
•
Ensure that the custom dye excites between 455–672 nm and emits between 505–723 nm.
•
Select a custom dye that does not overlap with other dyes used in the run (see “System dyes” on
page 16).
•
The custom dye for use in calibration must be attached to the 5' end of a short DNA
oligonucleotide consisting of the first two bases of the probe sequence without a quencher at
the 3' end.
