graph of emission spectra for eFluor 450 dye

The eFluor 450 dye is a violet-excitable, organic dye that emits at 450 nm and has spectral and performance properties similar to those of Pacific Blue dye. Stability data shows eFluor 450 exhibits minimal loss of fluorescence, when cells are exposed to a formaldehyde fixative treatment for up to 24 hours.

Benefits of eFluor 450 dye include:

  • Equal or better fluorescence intensity when compared to several other violet-excited organic dyes
  • Stable fluorescence following aldehyde fixation
  • Helps extend options for multicolor panel design to the violet laser
