PerCP-Cy5.5 Tandem
PerCP (Peridinin-chlorophyll-protein complex) is isolated from Dinophyceae sp. It has an extremely high extinction coefficient, a high quantum efficiency and a large Stokes shift. It is well excited with the Argon laser at 488 nm with its maximum emission peak at 677 nm. PerCP protein is commonly used for fluorescent immunolabeling, particularly in applications involving fluorescent-activated cell sorting (FACS). Its tandem conjugates (such as PerCP-Cy5.5) can be excited with a standard 488 nm laser and emits in the far red at a longer wavelength for multicolor flow cytometric analysis of cells. These multiple emission wavelengths make PerCP- Cyanine conjugates potentially useful fluorochromes for multicolor analysis with FITC, PE and other fluorochromes. PerCP tandem structure may make it more photostable than PerCP alone, which generally photobleaches rapidly with more powerful water-cooled gas lasers.
