Alexa Fluor® 568 dyeInvitrogen Alexa Fluor 568 dye is a bright, orange-fluorescent dye with excitation ideally suited for the 568 nm laser line on the Ar-Kr mixed-gas laser. For stable signal generation in imaging and flow cytometry, Alexa Fluor 568 dye is pH-insensitive over a wide molar range.

Probes with high fluorescence quantum yield and high photostability allow detection of low-abundance biological structures with great sensitivity. Alexa Fluor 568 dye molecules can be attached to proteins at high molar ratios without significant self-quenching, enabling brighter conjugates and more sensitive detection.

We offer Alexa Fluor 568 dye conjugated to a variety of antibodies, peptides, proteins, tracers, and amplification substrates optimized for cellular labeling and detection. In addition, reactive dye forms and protein labeling kits are available to allow you to generate your own antibody conjugates or probes.

Fixed and permeabilized muntjac skin fibroblasts stained with Invitrogen Alexa Fluor 488 phalloidin, an anti–α-tubulin antibody, and an anti–cdc6 peptide antibody. The anti–α-tubulin antibody was prelabeled with the Invitrogen Zenon Alexa Fluor 568 Mouse IgG1 Labeling Kit, and the anti–cdc6 peptide antibody was prelabeled with the Zenon Alexa Fluor 350 Mouse IgG1 Labeling Kit.
