What Are Some Common Fluorochromes Used in Flow Cytometry?
Fluorochromes are molecules that absorb light at a specific wavelength and emit light at a different wavelength. Some commonly used fluorochromes in flow cytometry include:
FITC (Fluorescein Isothiocyanate): Emits green fluorescence. PE (Phycoerythrin): Emits orange-red fluorescence. APC (Allophycocyanin): Emits far-red fluorescence. PerCP (Peridinin Chlorophyll Protein): Emits red fluorescence.
