microscopy, flow cytometry

Qdot 525 probe is an excellent green-fluorescent label with outstanding brightness and photostability for imaging and flow cytometry applications. With an emission maximum of ~525 nm, Qdot 525 probe can be excited using a 488 nm laser line or standard FITC filter. Optimum imaging results with brighter signals are achieved with a Qdot 525 filter or light cube.

Organic fluorophores and Qdot probes can be readily combined in multiplexed flow cytometry or imaging studies. Longer-wavelength Qdot probes are also ideal for multiplexed western blots.

Thermo Fisher Scientific offers Qdot 705 probe conjugated to a variety of antibodies, peptides, and proteins, optimized for cellular labeling and detection. In addition, antibody labeling kits are available to allow you to generate your own antibody conjugates or probes.

Qdot Probes

Qdot probes are made from nanocrystals of semiconductor material and are broadly compatible with standard fluorescence techniques, but there are some novel aspects to their use that can be optimized to obtain the best possible results. The exceptional brightness and photostability of Qdot probes make it easier to detect low-abundance targets. With narrow and symmetric emission spectra, Qdot probes are also well-suited for multiplexed fluorescence detection using a combination of Qdot probes and organic dyes.
