1. Has the best photostability among dyes with Cy^®5-like spectra. 2. Yields highly fluorescent protien conjugates. 3. Very water-soluble and pH-insensitive.

CF^™640R is a rhodamine-based far-red fluorescent dye with excitation and emission maxima very similar to those of Cy^®5 and Alexa Fluor^™ 647. CF^™640R is much brighter than Cy^®5 and at least as bright as Alexa Fluor^™ 647. A major advantage of CF^™640R over Cy^® 5 and Alexa Fluor^™ 647 is its exceptional photostability. Cy^®5 and Alexa Fluor^™ 647 are cyanine-based dyes and, like other cyanine dyes in general, have intrinsically poor photostability. CF^™640R is also far brighter and more photostable than Atto^™ 647N, another spectrally similar dye frequently used in single-molecule imaging. The combination of excellent brightness and photostability makes CF^™640R ideal for confocal microscopy, single- molecule imaging and other demanding applications based on fluorescence detection.
