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
  • STED dye of choice at 488 nm excitation
  • Ideal depletion behavior in STED microscopy ~590 nm
  • 2-color labeling partner with STAR 440SX for 2-color STED microscopy

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
