Advantages
Perfectly suited for excitation with the 635-nm, 647-nm, or 650-nm lasers
Highly sensitive: high extinction coefficient of 200,000 M–1cm–1 and high quantum yield of ~60% in aqueous environments
Good aqueous solubility: this label does not alter the solubility of the protein conjugate
High ozone stability: Higher ozone stability than Alexa Fluor™ 647 or Cy5™ enables array experiments to be performed with SeTau 647 under any environmental condition
Large Stokes' shift: SeTau647 has a 44 nm Stokes' shift
Extremely photostable: Much higher photostability as compared to Alexa Fluor™ 647, DyLight 650, ATTO 647N ,or Cy5™ (see below)
Fluorescence lifetime: 3.1 ns in water - three times longer than that of Cy5™ or Alexa Fluor™ 647
Ideal for non-radioactive labeling of proteins, amino-modified DNA probes, and amino-modified oligonucleotides
