Due to the dimness, compensation and photostability issues associated with APC-Cy7, we are replacing this fluorochrome with the APC-eFluor 780 tandem dye. This newly released tandem dye will also be replacing the APC-Alexa Fluor 750 fluorochrome. The APC-eFluor 780 tandem dye stains with a similar or brighter staining intensity as APC-Cy7 and APC-Alexa Fluor 750. Similarly, the eFluor 450 will replace our Pacific Blue fluorochrome offering.
