NovaFluor Blue 555 Dye

NovaFluor dyes, including NovaFluor Blue 555 dye, are built using Phiton technology and are compatible with both spectral flow cytometry as well as traditional flow cytometry. NovaFluor dyes exhibit narrow emission spectra and minimal cross-laser excitation, reducing spectral for better marker resolution. In addition, their unique spectral signatures can provide the opportunity to detect additional markers in flow cytometry panels by opening up previously unusable channels.

NovaFluor Blue 555 dye has an excitation and emission profile similar to that of Alexa Fluor 532 dye, but it is 2.5 times brighter. NovaFluor Blue 555 dye should generally be paired with highly expressed antigens to minimize spectral spillover in complex multicolor panels. NovaFluor 555 dye can be used in flow cytometry panels that include both NovaFluor Blue 510 and NovaFluor Blue 530 dyes. The macromolecule-based NovaFluor Blue 555 dye produces highly stable fluorescence, and stained samples retain their fluorescence intensity and spectral signature when stored at 4°C.

Benefits of NovaFluor Blue 555 dye:

  • Narrow emission spectrum and minimal cross-laser excitation for better resolution
  • Can serve as a brighter replacement for Alexa Fluor 532 dye
  • Can be used in a flow cytometry panel with NovaFluor Blue 510 and NovaFluor Blue 530 dyes
  • Produces highly stable fluorescence and is compatible with all buffers tested

Use NovaFluor dyes with CellBlox Monocyte and Macrophage Blocking Buffer to block non-specific binding of NovaFluor labels, PE and APC tandems observed with macrophages and monocytes.
