CoraLite Plus 405

CoraLite 405S (Ex-Max 404 nm/Em-Max 431 nm)

CoraLite Plus 405 from Proteintech has an excitation peak at 404 nm and an emission peak at 431 nm. It is spectrally similar to DyLight™ 405 and Alexa Fluor™ 405 and can be useful in fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. CoraLite® Plus dyes are chemically engineered with SuperHydrophilic dPEG® groups for greater biocompatibility, high water solubility, enhanced brightness and photostability. The family of CoraLite® Plus fluorophores are spectrally similar to Alexa Fluor® dyes.
