Fluorescent labeling offers several advantages over traditional staining methods:
High Sensitivity: Fluorescent signals can be detected at very low concentrations, allowing for the study of rare or low-abundance molecules. Specificity: The use of specific fluorophores and antibodies ensures precise targeting of molecules of interest. Multicolor Labeling: Multiple fluorophores with different emission wavelengths can be used simultaneously to label different targets within the same sample. Live Imaging: Fluorescent labeling can be applied to live cells and tissues, enabling real-time observation of dynamic processes.
