Hi everyone,

A while ago I noted that long shift dyes like the Atto-LS are disappearing from the American market.  Some folks responded with dyes used in flow cytometry (thanks again George!), but I couldn't find any that are currently marketed for fluorescence imaging.

Before I start investing in trial and error, is anyone currently using long-shift dyes for fluorescence multiplex imaging?  If you do, I'd gratefully appreciate any advice you have re their use.

Thanks and all the best,


T
