I have a probe labelled with CY5.5 reporter. I want to use this in my taqman assay. But there is no such reporter option available in Applied Biosystem quantstudio 6 system. Can i proceed with "other" in reporter option ?
If you have Quasar 705 option, it is similar to Cy5.5. If not, the spectrum of Cy5.5 is 683-703 nm, and the closest spectrum is that of Cy5 (650-670 nm), try it to see if there is a small overlapping window (see attached file).
