IR Fluors, also known as infrared fluorescent dyes or probes, are a class of molecules that emit fluorescence in response to excitation by infrared light. These dyes are widely used in a variety of applications, including biological imaging, chemical sensing, and materials science.
IR Fluors have several advantages over traditional fluorescent dyes, such as improved tissue penetration and reduced background fluorescence. This makes them particularly useful for deep-tissue imaging and in vivo applications.
In addition, IR Fluors can be conjugated to a variety of biomolecules, such as antibodies or peptides, to specifically target and label particular cells or tissues. This allows for the visualization and quantification of specific biological processes in real-time.
