Abberior STAR 635

Abberior STAR 635 is a dye developed for STED and confocal imaging in the red spectral region. It features exceptional photostability, very high brightness and low background labeling. The dye works extremely well with Abberior Instruments STEDYCON and Expert Line Microscopes and Leica STED microscopes. Abberior STAR 635 can substitute dyes like ATTO® 647N, Alexa Fluor® 647, or Cy5®. It can be excited with lasers at wavelength between 630 - 650 nm. For STED, a depletion wavelength around 750 - 800 nm is recommended. Best results are obtained with freshly prepared samples.
