Illuminate Your Research with MCRA: The Cutting-Edge Fluorescent Tag for Superior Cell Imaging
Introducing MCRA: Revolutionize Your Fluorescent Tagging
Discover the power of MCRA, a Merocyanine retinal analogue designed to elevate your cell imaging capabilities to new heights. Engineered for precision and performance, MCRA offers a transformative approach to fluorescent tagging, ensuring unparalleled clarity and sensitivity in your research.
Exceptional Fluorescence, Unmatched Sensitivity
- Dual-Wavelength Advantage: MCRA exhibits weak fluorescence in its unbound form with a maximum absorption (λmax) of 492 nm and emission (λem) at 585 nm. This intrinsic low fluorescence minimizes background noise, allowing for clearer imaging results.
- Turn-On Fluorescence: Upon conversion to its iminium form within a specialized host protein, MCRA demonstrates a significant bathochromic shift in absorption, effectively enhancing its fluorescence. This transition leads to a dramatic increase in quantum efficiency, making your target molecules stand out with exceptional brightness.
MCRA shows minimal background noise and allows for clearer imaging results
Enhanced Performance with Protein Binding
- Boosted Quantum Efficiency: While MCRA with n-butylamine shows a modest fluorescence increase (Φ ~4%), its true potential is unlocked when bound to a tailored protein host. Experience an extraordinary boost in quantum efficiency (Φ >30%), providing you with vibrant, high-resolution images.
Versatile Application: Perfect for Cell Imaging
MCRA is the ideal choice for labeling red fluorescent proteins in live-cell imaging studies. Its advanced properties ensure minimal background interference and maximum signal intensity, making it a reliable tool for tracking and analyzing cellular processes.
