SPY650-golgi is a bright, far red & non toxic live cell golgi probe based on our SPY? dyes series. Its optimized structure allows quick labeling of the golgi apparatus in live cells with high specificity and low background. SPY650-golgi stains the golgi apparatus in live cells without the need for genetic manipulation or overexpression of fluorescent proteins. Its absorbance and emission spectra are similar to Cy5. SPY650-golgi enables multicolor imaging with SPY505, SPY555, SPY595, SPY700, GFP or m-cherry. SPY650-golgi can be imaged with standard Cy5 filtersets. It can be used for confocal, SIM or STED imaging in living cells and tissue. Contains 1 vial of SPY650-golgi (lyophilized).
