Where do people buy their dyes for conjugation: I'm looking for basically the cheapest place for alexa fluors or equivalent which is still of usable quality.
We're based in the US, for succinimidyl ester activated fluors.
We've looked at Molecular Probes (invitrogen) and its about 200 bucks, the same for Biotium. Wondering if there was a cheaper place.
We have only the best experience with Atto dyes. They are available in a gret variety of coulours, but they are located in germany.

In my opinion the best alternative.
Interesting, thanks for the suggestions!
Elisabeth Stein, I tried to find a cost effective Atto dye set, but they all seem more expensive then we can deal with in terms of an extremely experimental procedure.
Jana Jusch, I have not heard of the Dyomics dyes before, looks interesting, especially since they are neutral charge that could help with tissue penetrance.
In case anyone else is looking for cheap reactive dyes, I'm currently trying out Cy5 and Cy3 from Enzo Life Sciences, they go for about 140 bucks for 12x50 nmol aliquots.
If they quench too much or are too charged, we might try out the Dyomics set.
Thanks all for the help!
