DY-380XL

DY-380XL (Ex-Max 381 nm/Em-Max 508 nm)

DY-380XL from Dyomics is a member of their MegaStokes fluorophore family. These dyes are characterized by very dramatic Stokes Shifts between their excitation and emission peaks. This fluorophore has an excitation peak at 381 nm and an emission peak at 508 nm. Although spectrally they could be applied to flow cytometry applications, they exhibit wide emission ranges that will spillover into neighboring emission channels. They are most commonly used for fluorescence microscopy.
