Abberior STAR 635 is the latest dye development for STED imaging in the red spectral region. It features exceptional brightness and ultralow background, delivering stunning STED images. The dye is also recommended by Leica Microsystems for use in the Leica STED Ti:Sa microscope.
Abberior STAR 635 can substitute ATTO® 647N, AlexaFluor® 647, or Cy5®. It can be excited with diode lasers (635 nm, 650 nm) or with the 647 nm line of a Krypton laser. For STED, a depletion wavelength around 750 nm is recommended.
Best results are obtained with freshly prepared samples.
Applications
Abberior STAR 635 particularly well suits the Leica TCS STED system and delivers high-resolution STED images with very low background signal due to its improved water solubility and exceptional brightness. The dye serves as an ideal partner for several 2-color STED packages.
