Advantages
Perfectly suited for excitation with the 635-nm, 647-nm, or 650-nm lasers
Brightest dye currently available on the market for the red laser lines
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
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 three times longer than that of Cy5™ or Alexa Fluor™ 647: 3.1 ns in water
Ideal for non-radioactive labeling of proteins, amino-modified DNA probes and amino-modified oligonucleotides
