Iowa Black® Dark Quenchers Modifications

Iowa Black® Quenchers

The Iowa Black® (patent pending) quenchers are a new family of dark quenchers developed by IDT that are offered as either 5'- or 3'-end modifications. They have excellent properties for use in fluorescence quenched probes. These compounds are stable over a wide range of conditions, including pH and heat. Further, they provide a convenient hydrophobic handle which facilitates purification by HPLC methods.
