Fluorescent dyes (also known as fluorochromes) are commonly used as detection reagents in a variety of applications such as cellular imaging and flow cytometry. Fluorochromes absorb light energy of a specific wavelength and re-emit it at a longer wavelength.
The wavelengths at which the fluorochrome absorbs and emits light constitute what is known as the fluorochrome’s excitation and emission spectra respectively (or just fluorescence spectra).
Quickly and easily select the most appropriate fluorochromes for your next experiment with our useful chart.
