General description

ColorWheel® technology is a novel and proprietary method of creating your own antibody and dye combinations for use in flow cytometry. By incubating any ColorWheel® antibody with any ColorWheel® dye, researchers can quickly and simply produce primary conjugated antibodies for use in single color or multicolor flow cytometry analysis. Each ColorWheel® antibody and dye is lyophilized for long-term storage, allowing for simplicity and flexibility without compromise. ColorWheel® technology requires both ColorWheel® antibody and ColorWheel® dye for Flow Cytometry application.

iFluor 594 is optimized for labeling antibodies and proteins. It is a pH-independent dye that works over a wide range of pH (3 to 11). It displays an excitation max at 588 nm and an emission max at 604 nm. Its spectral properties are similar to Texas Red® and ALEXA FLUOR 594. However, compared to Texas Red®, it is easier to conjugate with R-Phycoerythrin (RPE) with higher conjugation yield and the resulting RPE-iFluor 594 tandem dye offers better FRET efficiency. It exhibits decent stability shows good reactivity and selectivity with amino groups.
We are committed to bringing you greener alternative products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry.This product is Preservative-free, lyophilized product for enhanced stability and allow for ambient shipping and thus aligns with "Waste Prevention", "Designing Safer Chemicals" and "Design for Energy Efficiency".

Physical form

CWDS-IF594-25UL Set Components

CWDS-IF594-25UL - ColorWheel® Antibody-Ready iFluor 594 Dye Lyophilized from PBS containing D-Mannitol and Sucrose, normal appearance is a dried pellet. Reconstituted solution is stable and functional as assessed by functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide.

CWD-FINISH-25UL - ColorWheel® Finishing Buffer Lyophilized from PBS. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide.

Reconstitution

Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL PBS.

Storage and Stability

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C. Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial. Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL PBS. Protect from light.
