NovaFluor dyes, including NovaFluor Yellow 690 dye, are built using Phiton technology and are compatible with both spectral flow cytometry as well as traditional flow cytometry. NovaFluor dyes exhibit narrow emission spectra and minimal cross-laser excitation, reducing spectral spillover for better marker resolution. In addition, their unique spectral signatures can provide the opportunity to detect additional markers in flow cytometry panels by opening up previously unusable channels.
NovaFluor Yellow 690 dye has an emission spectrum that fits between the emission peaks of PE-Cyanine 5 and PE-Cyanine 7, potentially allowing detection of an additional marker in a complex multicolor panel. NovaFluor Yellow 690 and NovaFluor Yellow 700 dyes cannot be used together with conventional flow cytometry, but their distinct spectral signatures allow them to be successfully unmixed using a spectral flow cytometer. The macromolecule-based NovaFluor Yellow 690 dyes produce highly stable fluorescence, and stained samples retain their fluorescence intensity and spectral signature when stored at 4°C.
