FAQ
What are the main applications of R-PE?
R-PE is primarily used for multi-color immunofluorescent staining, cell sorting, and as a tracer in various biochemical assays. Its high fluorescence intensity makes it advantageous for detecting low-abundance targets.
How does R-PE compare to other fluorescent proteins?
Compared to other fluorescent proteins, R-PE offers superior brightness and a broader excitation spectrum. For instance, the similarly structured B-PE also offers impressive fluorescence, but R-PE tends to be more intense, making it a preferred choice for many researchers.
Can R-PE be used with other labeling reagents?
Yes, R-PE can be effectively combined with other labeling reagents such as SMCC Activated B-PE or SMCC Activated R-PE. This compatibility allows for complex multi-color labeling applications, enhancing experimental flexibility.
