PerCP-Fire 806

PerCP-Fire 806 (Ex-Max 481 nm/Em-Max 802 nm)

PerCP/Fire™ 806 is an innovative and unique flow cytometry fluorophore excited by the 488 nm blue laser that emits beyond 800 nm. It can be used on conventional cytometers with a 780/60 filter, but is optimal for spectral instruments with both blue and yellow/green lasers. This allows it to be unmixed from dyes like PE/Cyanine7 and PE/Fire™ 810. Its potent brightness makes it suitable for antigens with low expression levels.
