NovaFluor Blue 555

NovaFluor Blue 555 (Ex-Max 496 nm/Em-Max 555 nm)

The NovaFluor family of fluorescent polymers from Thermo Fisher Scientific are a novel reagent for traditional and spectral flow cytometry. These fluorophores are comprised of a DNA backbone polymer integrated with fluorophore substituted nucleosides to create a potent donor molecule. Tandem fluophores with long Stokes' Shift enable brighter, spectrally discrete, tunable fluorescent polymers as an alternative to traditional simple organic structures, protein-based fluorophores as well as the Horizon Brilliant™ family of fluorescent polymers from BD. NovaFluor Blue 555 is designed to be discreetly excited by the 488 nm laser and has an excitation peak at 496 nm and an emission peak at 555 nm.
