Astral Leap™ Offers Exceptional Tandem Dye Performance
Astral Leap™ dyes are novel long Stokes shift tandem dyes that enable expanded multiplexing for flow cytometry with exceptional signal-to-noise. Astral Leap™ tandem dyes optimize both the Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) dye capabilities and conjugation to the antibody.
RPE-Astral™616 and APC-Astral™813 may be used for either conventional or spectral flow cytometry instruments. Their unique long Stokes shift spectral profiles are particularly useful for unmixing on spectral flow cytometry instruments such as the Cytek® Aurora. Both dyes are currently available with validated Biotium Choice primary antibodies. See below for our full selection of antibodies available with Astral Leap™ tandem dyes.
