Uuide to D

Fluorescent Dyes Examples by Emission Color

DAPI (4′,6-Diamidino-2-Phenylindole): Emit blue fluorescence and are also used for DNA staining.

GFP (Green Fluorescent Protein): Naturally occurring protein that emits green fluorescence and is used in molecular and cell biology.

Rhodamine dyes: Emit orange to red fluorescence and are commonly used in microscopy and flow cytometry.

Red Emitting Fluorescent Dyes:

Propidium Iodide: Emit red fluorescence and are used for cell cycle analysis and DNA staining.

Cy7 (Cyanine 7): Emit near-infrared fluorescence and are utilized in molecular imaging and flow cytometry.

Cellular Imaging and Microscopy: Fluorescent dyes are extensively used to visualize cellular structures, organelles, and molecules under a microscope. They aid researchers in studying cellular processes, protein localization, and intracellular dynamics.
