Fluorophores enable researchers to expand the limits of their multicolor experiments in high content analysis, microscopy, and flow cytometry platforms. Our fluorescent dyes are offered conjugated to antibodies, streptavidin, peptides, proteins, tracers, and amplification substrates optimized for cellular labeling and detection. They are also available as labeling reagents and kits allowing researchers to create labeled biomolecules for use in various applications as well as for probing biological structures, functions, and interactions. You can find information about each fluorophore by browsing the tables below.

On this page, you can also find fluorophore brands to explore our different dye brands and resources to explore protocols and selection guide posters for flow cytometry and imaging.
