ColorWheel^® Antibody-Ready Alpha Fluor 488 Dye

ColorWheel^® technology is a novel and proprietary method of creating your own antibody and dye combinations for use in flow cytometry. By incubating any ColorWheel^® antibody with any ColorWheel^® dye, researchers can quickly and simply produce primary conjugated antibodies for use in single color or multicolor flow cytometry analysis. Each ColorWheel^® antibody and dye is lyophilized for long long-term storage, allowing for simplicity and flexibility without compromise. ColorWheel^® technology requires both ColorWheel^® antibody and ColorWheel^® dye for Flow Cytometry application.

Alpha Fluor^™ 488 NHS Ester (Succinimidyl Ester) is a water soluble, bright green fluorescent dye that exhibits an excitation max at 499 nm and an emission max at 520 nm with an extinction coefficient of 73,000 cm-1 M-1. It is suitable for use over a wide range of pH (4 to 10). It can be used with the 488 nm Argon laser and its spectral properties are identical to Alexa Fluor^™ 488. The NHS ester is the most convenient amine-reactive form for conjugating it to proteins and antibodies and can be used for stable signal generation in Flow cytometry. It displays high photostability and brighter fluorescence.
