Disclosed are reactive polyfluoro benzoxazole polymethine dyes that are useful for labelling and detecting biological and other materials. The dyes are of formula (I): in which X is selected from the group consisting of -O-, -S- and at least one of groups R1 and R2 is the group -L-Rx or -L-Rp, where L is a linking group, Rx is a group suitable for covalent attachment of the dye to a component and Rp is a component; and at least one of groups R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10 comprises fluorine. The use of polymethine dyes substituted by fluorine and having additional substitution by sulphonic acid groups, for labelling biological target molecules results in a labelled product in which there is reduced dye-dye aggregation and improved photostability, compared with cyanine dyes having no such substitutions. |
