SuperBright 436
SuperBright 436 (Ex-Max 414 nm/Em-Max 436 nm)
SuperBright 436 (SB436) is a fluorescent polymer with an excitation peak at 414 nm and an emission peak at 436 nm. SB436 is spectrally similar to StarBright Violet 440, eFluor™ 450 and Pacific Blue but can be unmixed with Brilliant™ Violet 421 on a spectral analyzer. This dye is a member of the SuperBright dye family, sold by ThermoFisher Scientific under license from BD Bioscience.
