IRDye^®Optical Agents

IRDye near infrared fluorescent dyes are leading the industry for setting new standards for protein and cellular assays, microscopy, and in vivo molecular imaging. These dyes have excellent water solubility, near infrared (700-800 nm) emission wavelengths where autofluorescence is low, and minimal non-specific binding.

LI-COR is a leading manufacturer of in vivo imaging agents. These agents are labeled using IRDye near-infrared dyes and developed systematically to ensure excellent specificity.
