General description

CF660C and CF660R are two spectrally similar fluorescent dyes that emit fluorescence at about 685 nm in the borderline spectral region between far-red and near-IR. Although their absorption maxima are at around 660 nm, both dyes can be sufficiently excited by the 633 or 635 nm laser. When combined with other CF dyes of shorter wavelengths, CF660C or CF660R can serve as a useful long wavelength dye in multi-color detection applications. The two dyes are spectrally similar to Alexa Fluor 660 but are far superior to the latter in performance. Like Alexa Fluor 660, CF660C is a cyanine-based dye. However, when conjugated to protein, CF660C is several fold brighter and significantly more photostable than Alexa Fluor 660.

Features and Benefits

1. Much brighter than Alexa Fluor660. 2. More photostable than Alexa Fluor660. 3. Highly water-soluble.

Preparation Note

Protect from light and moisture

Reconstitution

Dissolve in DMSO
