AFDye 680 DBCO

AFDye 680 (Alexa Fluor ® 680 equivalent) is a bright and photostable near-IR dye that is spectrally identical to Alexa Fluor® 680, IRDye® 680RD and Cy5.5. AFDye 680 is often used for small animal imaging applications in the 700 nm wavelength and provides excellent clearance profiles in animals. Flow cytometry is another common application for this dye. AFDye 680 ideally suited for the 633 nm laser line. This near-IR fluorescent dye is water soluble and pH-insensitive from pH 4 to pH 10. The long wavelength emission allows for detection in complex samples with auto-fluorescent background signals.
