General description

Abberior STAR 470SX is the latest development of long-Stokes-Shift dyes for STED microscopy. The dye can be excited from 450 to 480nm. It can substitute dyes like Chromeo 494. For STED, a depletion wavelength ~750 nm is recommended. It is therefore well suited for 2-color STED imaging as implemented in the Leica TCS STED Ti:Sa microscope.

Abberior STAR 470SX is the dye of choice for long Stokes STED applications in the orange fluorescent regime. The dye is particularly designed and tested for 2-color STED microscopy in combination with our STAR 635 using a single STED wavelength. The dye is our recommendation for usage in the Leica TCS STED Ti:Sa 2-color system.

Key Features
  • Designed for STED microscopy at ~750 nm
  • Long Stokes′ shift (>130 nm) for 2-color applications
  • Tested in the Leica TCS STED Ti:Sa 2-color system

Quorum sensing (QS) signaling allows bacteria to control gene expression once a critical population density is achieved. The Gram-negative human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHL) as QS signals, which coordinate the production of virulence factors and biofilms. These
