CF®740 Offers Superior Stability in TSA Buffer for Automated Staining
For near-infrared detection using tyramide signal amplification (TSA), we recommend CF®740 tyramide. The dye was developed to offer superior stability in oxidizing amplification buffer among spectrally similar dyes, making it compatible with automated staining platforms (e.g., BOND RX), and its narrow absorption peak minimizes channel spillover.
