CellVue® NIR780 Cell Labeling Kit

Description: CellVue® dyes are lipophilic dyes that can be used to label the cell membrane for the purpose of identifying and tracking labeled cells. Cell labeling is rapid and stable and can be combined with fluorescently labeled antibodies and other markers of cellular function for flow cytometric analysis and fluorescent microscopy. Mini CellVue® Kits are supplied with one vial of dye stock (1 mM in ethanol) and one vial of labeling vehicle (Diluent C); Midi CellVue® Kits are supplied with two vials of dye stock (1 mM in ethanol) and six vials of Diluent C.

CellVue® NIR780 is a near-infrared fluorescent cell labeling reagent. It can be excited off the red laser line (633 nm) and has a peak emission of 776 nm that can be detected in filter sets designed for APC-eFluor® 780. CellVue® NIR780 is compatible with most multi-color applications, however, due to similar emission properties it cannot be used in combination with APC-eFluor® 780 or APC-Alexa Fluor® 750 reagents.
