Tandem Dyes

The commercial availability of antibody-linked fluorescent dyes has expanded rapidly over the past decade. Where researchers were once limited to a handful of common dyes (FITC, PE, APC, PerCP, etc.), they can now choose from an extensive list of fluorescent dye lines...
Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching

Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching

Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching is a technique for characterizing the mobility of cellular molecules   Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP), also known as fluorescence redistribution after photobleaching, is a microscopy-based technique...
