Polymeric tandem dyes having pendant narrow emission acceptor

Abstract

Polymeric tandem dyes are provided. The polymeric tandem dyes include a narrow emission fluorophore configured as a pendant acceptor in energy-receiving proximity to a donor water solvated light harvesting multichromophore. The narrow emission acceptor fluorophores of the present disclosure are capable of providing polymeric tandem dyes having a variety of narrow emission spectrums suitable for multiplexing. Also provided are compositions for multicolor fluorescent signal generation that include two or more polymeric tandem dyes. Methods of evaluating a sample for the presence of a target analyte and methods of labelling a target molecule in which the subject polymeric dyes find use are also provided. Systems and kits for practicing the subject methods are also provided.
