Product Name :   
    Sulforhodamine 101-a-bungarotoxin (also called Texas Red-a-bungarotoxin)

Description:

Sulforhodamine 101-a-bungarotoxin binds to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor with high affinity. Since the dye sulforhodamine 101 has a longer absorption and emission wavelengths (ex\em= 593/613 nm) than tetramethylrhodamine-a-bungarotoxin (#00012 ), it gives a better spectral separation when a green fluorescent probe such as SynaptoGreen C4 (FM1-43, #70020 ) is also used in the experiment. Also see other labeled a- Bungarotoxins.

        Streptavidin, R-phycoerythrin conjugate, 1mg/mL (R-phycoerythrin streptavidin conjugate)

    Description:

    R-phycoerythrin streptavidin conjugate (R-PE streptavidin) can be used to detect biotinylated molecules with extremely high sensitivity. The red fluorescent protein R-phycoerythrin (R-PE) belongs to the family of phycobiliproteins, which are derived from cyanobacteria and eukaryotic algae. R-PE has absorption maxima at 496, 546, and 565 nm respectively and emission at 578 nm. Because of the high extinction coefficient (~1,960,000) and high fluorescence quantum yield (~0.82), R-PE is by far the brightest dye for the 565 nm wavelength region.

    Description:

    Similar to A-23187, 4-Bromo A-23187 is used for in situ calibrations of fluorescent Ca2+ indicators to equilibrate intracellular and extracellular calcium concentrations and to allow Mn2+ to enter cells to quench indicator fluorescence. However, since 4-bromo A-23187 is nonfluorescent, it is preferred over the blue fluorescent A-23187 for calibrations of UV-excited Ca2+ indicators such as Indo-1 and Fura-2 in order to keep background fluorescence to a minimum.

    Catelog Number :   
        70052
    Product Name :   
        LumitiumTM C9

    Description:

    Lumitium C9 is a cationic ruthenium complex with two C9 hydrocarbon tails. Ruthenium complexes similar to Lumitium C9 are known for having a large Stokes shift (>100 nm) and long luminescence lifetime. Although the utility of the dye has not been fully tested, it can potentially be used as a membrane probe offering high sensitivity via time-resolved detection.
