General description
Abberior STAR 488 is the latest development for STED microscopy. It is a very bright green fluorescent dye that can be very effectively excited at the prominent 488 nm laser line. Abberior STAR 488 can substitute dyes like Oregon Green 488, Atto™ 488 or Alexa Fluor 488.
STED: The dye can most effectively be depleted in STED microscopy at 585-605 nm.
Abberior STAR 488 is the dye of choice for excitation at 488 nm. Even more, the dye is particularly signed and tested for 2-color STED microscopy in combination with our STAR 440SX rusing a 590nm laser. The dye has been very successfully tested in the Leica 2-color TCS STED CW microscope.
Key Features
Absorption Maximum, λmax: 503 nm (PBS, pH 7.4)
Extinction Coefficient, ε(λmax): 65′000 M-1cm-1 (PBS, pH 7.4)
Correction Factor, CF260 = ε260/εmax: 0.28 (PBS, pH 7.4)
Correction Factor, CF280 = ε280/εmax: 0.14 (PBS, pH 7.4)
Fluorescence Maximum, λfl: 524nm (PBS, pH 7.4)
Recommended STED Wavelength, λSTED: 585 - 605 nm
Fluorescence Quantum Yield, η: 0.89 (PBS, pH 7.4)
Fluorescence Lifetime, τ: 3.9 ns (MeOH)

Application
Anti-Rabbit IgG-Abberior® STAR 488 antibody has been used as a secondary antibody:
- for fluorescent immunohistochemistry in prostate cancer cell lines, PPC-1 and TSU-Pr1
- for immunofluorescence in HeLa and monkey kidney COS-7 cells
- for STED (stimulated emission depletion) microscopy in OLN-t40-α-syn cells (oligodendroglial cells)
Suitability
Designed and tested for fluorescent super-resolution microscopy
