Invitrogen NovaFluor Blue 585 dye is a yellow-fluorescent dye with a unique emission spectrum when excited by the 488 nm laser. It fits in between NovaFluor Blue 555 and NovaFluor Blue 610, potentially allowing the detection of an additional marker in a complex multicolor panel.

NovaFluor Blue 585 dye should generally be paired with highly expressed antigens to minimize spectral spillover in complex multicolor panels. The macromolecule-based NovaFluor Blue 585 dye produces highly stable fluorescence, and stained samples retain their fluorescence intensity and spectral signature when stored at 4°C. Use NovaFluor dyes with CellBlox Plus Blocking Buffer to reduce background and to block non-specific binding of NovaFluor labels, PE and APC tandems observed with macrophages and monocytes.

We offer NovaFluor dyes conjugated to primary antibodies for use in flow cytometry, as well as NovaFluor Antibody Conjugation Kits, NovaFluor CD4 Label Characterization Kits, and custom conjugation services.

Experimental data using NovaFluor Blue 585 dye

Spectral signature of NovaFluor Blue 585 dye. Normal human peripheral blood cells stained with CD4 Monoclonal Antibody (SK3 (SK-3)), NovaFluor Blue 585 were used for analysis. Data was acquired on a 5-laser Cytek Aurora system.

Staining of human peripheral blood cells with NovaFluor Blue 585 conjugated antibody. Normal human peripheral blood cells (PBMCs) were unstained (left) or stained with CD4 Monoclonal Antibody, NovaFluor Blue 585 (right). Data was acquired in the B4 channel on a 5-laser Cytek Aurora system, and singlet cells were used for analysis.

NovaFluor dyes

NovaFluor dyes are built using Phiton technology and are compatible with both spectral flow cytometry and traditional flow cytometry. NovaFluor dyes exhibit narrow emission spectra and minimal cross-laser excitation, which helps reduce spectral spillover 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.
