APDye Fluor 555
APDye Fluor 555 (AF555, Alexa Fluor 555) Overview
Key Features:
- Bright Orange Fluorescent Dye: Water-soluble and highly visible.
- Laser Compatibility: Optimized for 532 nm and 555 nm lasers, with TRITC filter sets. Peak excitation/emission at 555/565 nm.
- pH Stability: Performs reliably across pH 4-10.
- High Molar Ratio Conjugation: Attaches to proteins without self-quenching, delivering brighter results and sensitive detection.
Performance Advantage:
- Superior to Cy3 Alternatives: Matches Cy3 spectrum, compatible with Cy3 filters.
- Higher Fluorescence & Photostability: Longer image capture times.
Applications:
- Versatile Use: Ideal for flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy, immunohistochemistry, ELISA, indirect FISH, and more.
