Product Introduction
Controlled pore glass solid supports are used for the synthesis of 3'-labeled oligonucleotides. This solid support is intended for the synthesis of oligonucleotides bearing fluorescein (FAM) fluorescent dye on 3'-terminus of oligonucleotide. It contains pure 6-isomer of fluorescein. The structure of the reagent is based on chiral, enantiomerically pure scaffold of hydroxyprolinol. The solid support ensures optimal yield of oligonucleotides up to 60mer. For longer oligos, CPG 1000 should be used. The reagent is compatible with standard ammonia cleavage and deblocking conditions.

Application
FAM CPG 500, 6-isomer is a fluorescein (FAM)-labeled controlled pore glass (CPG) support used as a solid-phase fluorescent building block for oligonucleotide-related labeling workflows. The fluorescein dye provides a convenient green fluorescence readout for monitoring reagent performance, tracking conjugate formation, and validating labeling steps during nucleic acid handling and surface immobilization. Because it is presented on a CPG matrix, it is typically leveraged in solid-phase formats where fluorescence can be incorporated into probe or assay construction strategies.
1. Solid-Phase Oligonucleotide Labeling
FAM CPG 500, 6-isomer is used by oligonucleotide synthesis and assay-development teams to introduce a fluorescein reporter directly from a solid support, enabling fluorescent-tag incorporation into nucleic acid constructs. Researchers commonly employ this material when they want a robust, solid-phase-compatible way to generate fluorescently labeled oligonucleotides for downstream hybridization assays, imaging readouts, or fluorescence-based characterization of probe performance. The CPG format supports workflow integration with standard solid-phase nucleic acid processing, while the FAM reporter enables straightforward fluorescence verification during reagent development.
2. Fluorescent Probe and Beacon Testing
FAM CPG 500, 6-isomer supports fluorescence-based evaluation of nucleic acid probe architectures, including molecular beacon and related hybridization probe designs, where a fluorescein label is used as a reporter for probe assembly and behavior. In probe development, teams use the material to confirm labeling consistency and to screen construct performance in fluorescence readouts prior to scaling into full assay formats. The dye's widely used fluorescein excitation/emission characteristics make it a practical choice for laboratories building fluorescence monitoring steps into probe optimization workflows.
3. Surface Immobilized Fluorescent Standards
FAM CPG 500, 6-isomer is also applied in materials and analytical chemistry settings to generate fluorescent reference materials and surface-associated standards based on a porous glass scaffold. Researchers use fluorescein-functionalized CPG to create reproducible fluorescence signals for method development, instrument checks, or comparative evaluation of labeling chemistry on solid supports. This format is particularly useful when a stable, solid-phase fluorescence reference is required for microscopy calibration, fluorescence method screening, or quality control of fluorescent conjugation workflows.
4. Fluorescent Conjugate Development Support
FAM CPG 500, 6-isomer can be incorporated into research workflows that require fluorescent tracking of conjugate formation and purification steps involving nucleic acid reagents or related solid-phase intermediates. In chemical biology and assay development, teams use the fluorescein reporter to monitor progress during reagent assembly, to assess batch-to-batch consistency, and to support troubleshooting when optimizing labeling conditions for fluorescent nucleic acid derivatives. The solid-phase presentation helps streamline handling in development pipelines where fluorescence readouts are used as practical checkpoints.
