Thermo Scientific™ DyLight™ 488 NHS Ester

Description

Thermo Scientific™ Amine-Reactive DyLight Dyes are NHS ester-activated DyLight Fluors for fluorescent labeling of antibodies and other proteins to be used as molecular probes for cellular imaging and other fluorescence detection methods.

The DyLight Dyes exhibit higher fluorescence intensity and photostability than Alexa™, CyDye™ and LI-COR™ Dyes in many applications and remain highly fluorescent over a broad pH range (pH 4-9). Additionally, the water solubility of the DyLight Dyes allows a high dye-to-protein ratio without precipitation during conjugation.

Highlights:

• Brightness: high-fluorescence intensity provides outstanding sensitivity and requires less conjugate

• Photostability: exceptional resistance to photobleaching enables fluorescence imaging under the most demanding conditions (e.g., structured illumination, 4pi microscopy)

• Instrument compatibility: emission spectra match the principal output wavelengths of common fluorescence instrumentation
