About StarBright Blue 675

StarBright Blue 675 (SBB675) Dye is a very bright, 488 nm laser excitable dye with a unique narrow excitation and emission profile and is suitable for conventional and full spectrum flow cytometry. It is brighter than other 488 nm laser excitable dyes such as PerCP-Cy5.5 (and PerCP) and BB700 and PE-Cy5 when excited by the 488 nm laser. As it is not a traditional tandem dye, SBB675 does not have issues around tandem breakdown and changes to staining over time. It exhibits reduced excitation by the 561 nm laser compared to PE tandem dyes. SBB675 provides more choice and flexibility when building multicolor panels incorporating the 488 nm laser.
