Product Description
This CF™660R tyramide conjugate is used for tyramide signal amplification (TSA)1,2,3, which is an enzyme-mediated detection method that uses horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to generate high-density labeling of a target protein or nucleic acid in situ. A tyramide conjugate is incubated in the presence of HRP (often bound to a secondary antibody), which catalyzes the binding of the tyramide (and associated label) to adjacent tyrosines for enhanced fluorescent signal. CF™660R is a bright and exceptionally photostable dye that absorbs at 663 nm and emits fluorescence at 682 nm in the borderline spectral region between far-red and near-IR. CF™660R is ideal for confocal microscopy, where it can add a long wavelength color for multi-color imaging.
