Abberior® STAR 488 dye was developed for STED and confocal microscopy in the green spectral region. It can be very effectively excited with the prominent 488 nm laser line. For STED microscopy, this fluorescent dye can be efficiently used with STED laser wavelengths between 590 - 610 nm. This category of dyes can substitute dyes like Oregon Green 488, Atto™ 488 or ALEXA FLUOR™ 488. Organic fluorescent dye conjugate with biotin is suitable for fluorescence labeling of avidin- or streptavidin-modified molecules.
