General description

CF594 is a deep red fluorescent dye spectrally similar to Alexa Fluor 594 and Texas Red® dye. When conjugated to proteins, CF594 is significantly brighter than Alexa Fluor 594 due to its high quantum yield and exceptional water solubility. CF594 also has excellent photostability, making it ideal for demanding applications such as confocal microscopy and single molecule imaging. These properties make CF594 the best deep-red dye for labeling proteins and nucleic acids. The dye is particularly useful in combination with our blue fluorescent CF350, green fluorescent CF488A and far red CF647 for multi-color imaging.

Features and Benefits

1. Yields the brightest antibody conjugates among spectrally similar dyes. 2. Extremely photostable. 3. Highly water-soluble.
