Fluorochrome Data Tables

Our visitors will find in the following listing many of the commonly-used fluorochromes, with their respective peak excitation and emission wavelengths.

While the authors assume responsibility for the accurate reporting of the data as published in various reliable sources, several caveats must be given. Fluorochrome dyes are environmentally sensitive and different results will be obtained with different solvents and applications. In reviewing the literature, you will frequently find somewhat different data supplied for the identical fluorochrome. There are also, in many instances, several sub-varieties of a fluorochrome.

Fluorescence Filter Cubes

Discover how variations in excitation and barrier filters allow certain wavelengths to pass.

Much information about fluorochromes will be found in sources cited in the bibliography and Web resources guide which visitors will find on the primer introductory page. See particularly the books edited by Taylor et al. and the literature published by microscope companies.

It is strongly urged that the data for a particular fluorochrome be confirmed by consulting the dye manufacturer to secure full specification of curves for excitation and emission.
