The present disclosure embodies compounds of Formula I, methods of use thereof, and kits thereof:  that are useful in connection with the detection of analytes of all types (e.g., biological molecules such as proteins, organic molecules, natural or synthetic molecules). The disclosure is particularly applicable to detection of proteins and nucleic acids using all types of membrane-based assays by techniques such as Western blotting, Dot blotting, Southern blotting, and Northern blotting.

Hemicyanine dyes

The present invention provides a chemiluminescent ink formulation, comprising: a phthalocyanine metal catalyst; a visible dye; and a solvent. The formulation is useful in catalyzing a chemiluminescent reaction, by admixing for example, luminol or isoluminol with an oxidizing agent, a base and the chemiluminescent ink formulation to emit light.

Phthalocyanine formulation and uses thereof

Multifunctional molecular weight protein ladders and methods of making thereof are disclosed herein that are useful for determining the molecular weight of a test protein and/or the relative mass or amount of the test protein in a protein separation assay, such as gel electrophoresis or western blotting. Also included are compounds of Formula I (e.g., mono acetylated MP-11 NHS ester) that may be used to label purified proteins of the protein ladder. The MP-11 label protein ladder can be detected on a blotting membrane by exposing the microperoxidase to a suitable substrate, such as a chromogenic substrate or a chemiluminescent substrate.
