Janelia Fluor 635

Janelia Fluor® 635 (Ex-Max 635 nm/Em-Max 652 nm)

Janelia Fluor® 635 was developed at the Janelia Campus of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute but is commercialized by other vendors. The Janelia Fluor®s family is unique in that the fluorophores are cell-permeable and are available in photoactivatable forms. These fluorophores were developed for super-resolution microscopy (STED, PALM and STORM) and live-cell microscopy in the HaloTag and SNAP-tag versions. Janelia Fluor® 635 has an excitation peak at 635 nm and an emission peak at 652 nm.
