About StarBright Yellow 605

StarBright Yellow 605 (SBY605) Dye is a bright 561 nm excitable dye with a unique and narrow emission that unlike PE-tandems with similar emissions, is not excited by the 488 nm laser. Suitable for use in conventional and full spectrum flow cytometry and compatible with other StarBright Dyes without the requirement for a special buffer, it is as bright as PE-Dazzle594 when excited by the 561 nm laser. SBY605 is not a traditional tandem dye so unlike PE-based tandems can be fixed in PFA or alcohol-based fixatives with no loss of signal or changes to the spectral profile giving you reduced spillover and more flexibility in your experiments.
