This product is fluorescently-labeled concanavalin A (Con A). Con A is a widely used lectin that selectively binds to a-mannopyranosyl and a-glucopyranosy residues, found in the cell wall of yeast and fungi, and the cell membrane of mammalian cells. CF® dyes are Biotium's line of next-generation fluorescent dyes with advantages in brightness, photostability, and conjugate specificity compared to other fluorescent dyes.• UV-excitable blue fluorescent CF®350 dye has excitation/emission at 347/448 nm. • Green fluorescent CF®488A dye has excitation/emission at 490/515 nm. • Deep-red fluorescent CF®594 dye has excitation/emission at 593/614 nm. • Far-red fluorescent CF®633 dye has excitation/emission at 630/650 nm. • Far-red fluorescent CF®640R dye has excitation/emission at 642/662 nm. • Far-red/near-IR fluorescent CF®680 dye has excitation/emission at 681/698 nm.
