mFluor(TM) Blue 580 SE

Molecular weight: 832.98. Advances in spectral flow cytometers have expanded applications and capabilities beyond conventional flow cytometry. Now with spectral flow cytometry analysis, researchers and scientists can investigate an increasing number of molecules of interest. However, the potential of spectral flow cytometry is severely limited by the availability of fluorescent labels and readouts. AAT Bioquest's mFluor(TM) dyes are developed for multicolor flow cytometry-focused applications, in particular, for spectral fluorescence flow cytometry. mFluor(TM) Blue 580 dye can be well excited with blue laser at 488 nm. It has a huge Stokes shift with emission ~580 nm. mFluor(TM) Blue 580 dyes are water-soluble, and the protein conjugates prepared with mFluor(TM) Blue 580 dyes are well excited at 488 nm to give red fluorescence. mFluor(TM) Blue 580 dye and conjugates are excellent blue laser reagents for flow cytometry detections. Compared to RPE, mFluor(TM) Blue 580 dyes are much more photostable, making them readily available for fluorescence imaging applications while it is very difficult to use RPE conjugates for fluorescence imaging applications due to the rapid photobleaching of RPE conjugates. It is also a unique fluorochrome for spectral flow cytometry since there are very few existing dyes that have this spectral profile.
