Description

General description

CF^™660C and CF^™660R are two spectrally similar fluorescent dyes that emit fluorescence at about 685 nm in the borderline spectral region between far-red and near-IR. Although their absorption maxima are at around 660 nm, both dyes can be sufficiently excited by the 633 or 635 nm laser. When combined with other CF^™ dyes of shorter wavelengths, CF^™660C or CF^™660R can serve as a useful long wavelength dye in multi-color detection applications. The two dyes are spectrally similar to Alexa Fluor^™ 660 but are far superior to the latter in performance. Like Alexa Fluor^™ 660, CF^™660C is a cyanine-based dye. However, when conjugated to protein, CF^™660C is several fold brighter and significantly more photostable than Alexa Fluor^™ 660.

Features and Benefits

1. Much brighter than Alexa Fluor^™660. 2. More photostable than Alexa Fluor^™660. 3. Highly water-soluble.
