Near-IR CF®700 is Biotium’s next-generation dye with superior brightness and signal-to-noise. Unlike other near-IR dyes that suffer from aggregation and poor stability, CF®700 uses novel molecular engineering to deliver exceptional brightness. It outperforms Alexa Fluor® 700 in both microscopy and flow cytometry, offering a brighter signal and higher stain index (Figures 2–3). CF®700 is extensively validated and available in a range of formats, including Biotium Choice primary antibodies, Annexin V conjugates, Mix-n-Stain™ Antibody Labeling Kits, and more.
