Brilliant Violet 711
Brilliant™ Violet 711 (Ex-Max 407 nm/Em-Max 711 nm)
Brilliant™ Violet 711 (BV711) is a red-emitting tandem fluorophore that can be excited by the 405 nm Violet laser and collected using a 710/50 bandpass filter. BV711 has an excitation peak at 405 nm and an emission peak at 711 nm. BV711 exhibits a medium level of brightness and is most often used in flow cytometry, specifically, it is an alternative to nanocrystals used for intracellular flow. This dye is part of the Brilliant™ Violet dye line of fluorescent polymers. Brilliant™ Violet 421 polymer is employed as the donor molecule in a series of tandem dyes with acceptor molecules emitting at various points across the visible light spectrum. The Brilliant™ Violet dyes are a superior alternative to QDot nanocrystals and similar to SuperNova dye from Beckman Coulter and StarBright dyes from Bio-Rad.
