Description

General description

CF 555 is a red fluorescent dye spectrally similar to Cy3^™ and Alexa Fluor^™ 555. CF 555 also has comparable brightness and photostability as Cy 3 and Alexa Fluor 555.

CF^™ dye hydrazides can be used as a fixable polar tracers for visualizing cell morphology,or for gap junction studies. The dyes can be introduced into cells by microinjection. For conjugation to aldehyde or ketone groups (such as carbohydrate molecules after peroxidation with periodate) we recommend using the more reactive CF aminooxy dye forms.

Features and Benefits

1. Has comparable brightness and photostability as Cy^®3 and Alexa Fluor^™555 2. Highly water-soluble 3. pH-insensitive.

Preparation Note

Protect from light
