APC-Cy®7 Antibody Conjugates

Choose APC-Cy7 antibody conjugates to enhance multicolor flow cytometry and immunophenotyping workflows. The far-red/NIR emission (~785 nm), high brightness, and sensitivity labels low-abundance markers while minimizing background autofluorescence and spectral overlap. Easily excited by 633 or 640 nm lasers, APC-Cy®7 is ideal for panels requiring precise detection and minimal interference.

The excitation spectrum (dashed red line) and emission spectrum (solid red) for APC-Cy®7 are shown above. This tandem fluorophore combines APC’s brightness with the Cy7 far-red emission to minimize spectral overlap and reduce background autofluorescence. Its large Stokes shift and compatibility with 633 and 640 nm laser lines make APC-Cy®7 an ideal addition for multicolor flow cytometry panels.

Applications in Research

APC-Cy®7 is invaluable in applications that require high sensitivity, clear signal separation, and minimal background interference. It is particularly effective for:

  • Targeting highly expressed markers like CD4, CD8, and CD19 for detailed immunophenotyping of immune cell subsets in complex samples such as blood and tissue lysates.
  • Multicolor flow cytometry panels, when paired with many of the commonly used blue, green, and orange fluorochromes like Pacific Blue™, FITC, and PE to reduce spectral overlap and compensation needs.
  • Sorting specific cell populations based on surface marker expression with minimal crosstalk.

APC-Cy®7 is widely compatible with diverse detection systems, red laser lines, and filter sets, making it ideal for varied applications such as:
