Advanced fluorophores provide several advantages over traditional stains and dyes, including:
Higher specificity: They can be conjugated to antibodies, nucleic acids, or other molecules to target specific cellular components. Improved brightness: Advanced fluorophores emit more photons per unit time, making them highly visible even at low concentrations. Enhanced photostability: They resist photobleaching, allowing for longer observation times. Multiplexing capability: Their distinct emission spectra enable the simultaneous detection of multiple targets.
