CF594ST

CF®594ST (Ex-Max 593 nm/Em-Max 614 nm)

CF®594ST from Biotium is a fluorophore with an excitation peak at 593 nm and an emission peak at 614 nm. It can be useful in both fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry but was specifically designed for use in super-resolution imaging by STORM. It is spectrally similar to Alexa Fluor™ 594, DyLight™ 594 and Texas Red.
