General description
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.
Phycoerythrin (PE) is intensely bright, stable fluorescent dye that exhibits an excitation max at 566 nm and an emission max at 574 nm with an extinction coefficient of 1,960,000 cm-1 M-1. It is composed of αβ monomers that are organized in a disk-shaped trimer or hexamer. The α subunit of R-PE contains only the phycoerythrobilin (PEB) chromophore, while β and γ subunits contain both PEB and phycourobilin (PUB). PE has stronger fluorescence and high photostability. PE can be used for covalent labeling of antibodies and detection by flow cytometry.
