QXY21 NHS ester [equivalent to QSY-21 NHS ester]

QXY21 is the same molecule to QSY-21 acid (ThermoFisher). QSY-21 has a broad and intense absorption at ~661 nm maxima with no detectable fluorescence, making it useful as an acceptor in fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) applications. It is a common long-wavelength quencher to best pair with Cy5, Alexa Fluor 647, iFluor 647 or other spectrally similar fluorescent dyes.
