abberior STAR GREEN, maleimide, 1 mg

abberior STAR GREEN is a novel fluorescent dye belonging to the group of fluorescein dyes. Characteristic features of this dyes are bright green fluorescent with a fluorescent quantum yield of over 80% and exceptional photostability under STED and confocal imaging conditions. abberior STAR GREEN can be very effectively excited with the 488 nm laser line. For STED microscopy, this dye can be efficiently used with a STED laser wavelength between 590 – 610 nm. Our abberior STAR GREEN is the ideal partner for abberior STAR 440L to obtain optimal 2 color STED results with a single depletion laser. abberior STAR GREEN can substitute dyes like Oregon Green® 488, ATTO® 488 or Alexa Fluor® 488. Best results are obtained with freshly prepared samples. The maleimide is used for conjugating a fluorescent dye to a thiol group (cysteine residues) on a protein or thio-modified molecules. The resulting abberior conjugate will show a bright fluorescence and photostability. abberior offers labeling protocols for labeling of antibodies via thiol-reactive groups.
