Lycopersicon esculentum (LEL/LEA) (Cy3)

Cy3 can be used to viualize the binding pattern of Lycopersicon esculentum Lectin (LEL/LEA) in cellular imaging and flow cytometry. Cy3 is more photostable than many other flourophores and can be seen with TRITC filter sets. It is commonly combined with green-fluorescent dyes for dual-labeling||Source:|Tomato||Blood Specificity:|Non-specific||Sugar Specificity:|(N-Acetylglucosamine)2-4||Inhibitory Carbohydrate:|Chitin Hydrolysate||Fluorescence:|Orange||Excitation:|550nm||Emission:|570nm||Storage and Stability:|May be stored at 4°C.
