Ulex europaeus (UEA II) (Cy3)

Cy3 can be used to visualize the binding pattern of Ulex europaeus Lectin (UEA II) in cellular imaging and flow cytometry. Cy3 is more photostable than many other fluorophores and can be seen with TRITC filter sets. It is commonly combined with green-fluorescent dyes for dual-labeling.||Source:|Gorse||Blood Specificity:|Non-specific||Sugar Specificity:|Oligomers of beta(1,4) - linked N-Acetylglucosamine||Inhibitory Carbohydrate:|GlcNAc beta(1,4) GlcNAc||Fluorescence:|Orange||Excitation:|550nm||Emission:|570nm||Storage and Stability:|May be stored at 4°C.
