CF®620R dye is a far-red rhodamine-based fluorescent dye. The dye is highly fluorescent and extremely photostable. With its absorption and emission maxima centered at 620 and 643 nm, respectively, the dye may be used as an excellent energy acceptor in fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) when paired with R-PE, or used in multi-color detection applications with instruments that match the unique spectral profiles of the dye for maximal signal. The exceptional water solubility of the dye facilitates bioconjugation and better preserves biological specificity of the conjugates. We offer amine-reactive and thiol-reactive forms of CF®620R (see below). Additional reactive dyes or conjugates may be added on request, contact techsupport@biotium.com to inquire.
For bright and photostable far-red dyes for microscopy or flow cytometry, see our CF®633 and CF®640R dyes.
