CF™Dyes  
 

The next-generation dyes for protein labeling

CF dye flyer
Near IR CF dye flyer
 

CF dyes are a series of fluorescent dyes with superior brightness and photostability. Primarily designed for labeling antibodies, many of our CF dyes (near IR CF dyes in particular) outperform the Alexa Fluor dyes (For more detailed comparison, please download CF dye flyer and Near IR CF dye flyer ). CF dye antibody conjugates generally give better signal to noise ratio than Alexa Fluor antibody conjugates because of the fewer charges CF dyes carry.

CF dye products are currently offered in three categories: CF dye-labeled secondary antibodies (Table A); other CF dye-labeled products (Table B); and reactive CF dyes and labeling kits (Table C). More CF dye products will be offered in the near future as they become available. We also do custom conjugations if you have a primary antibody or any particular substrate molecule you would like us to label with one of the CF dyes.

Figure 1. HeLa cells were stained with CF 555 phalloidin (red), mouse anti-α-tubulin followed by goat anti-mouse CF 488A IgG (green) and DAPI (blue), respectively.
   
 
 
Figure 2. HeLa cells were stained with mouse anti-golgin 97 and rabbit anti-COX IV primary antibodies followed by CF488A goat anti-mouse and CF555 goat anti-rabbit secondary antibodies. CF647-phalloidin was used to label F-actin and Hoechst 33342 was used to stain for DNA. (Green=golgi, red=mitochondria, blue=nucleus, and magenta=cytoskeleton).
   
 
 
Figure 3. Rat hippocampal neurons stained with SynaptoGreen C4 (also called FM1-43, cat# 70020) and CF647 hydrazide (cat# 70020). SynaptoGreen C4 stains synaptic vesicles (green) while CF647 hydrazide (cat# 92136) stains the cell bodies (red).
