fluorophore data?

[mahogny]

Hello,
I've been looking around for emission & absorption spectras for all common fluorophores but the data seems rather spread out. does anyone know of a compilation that legally could be included in an open source program?

on a related note, can measured data be copyrighted?

thanks
/Johan

I use this table:

http://info.med.yale.edu/genetics/ward/tavi/FISHdyes2.html

which was apparently copied from Zeiss.

Dear John,

 

Jackson ImmunoResearch Research labs’ Web site has some of the information.

We also have text files: http://www.jacksonimmuno.com/technical/spectratext.asp.

 

Best regards,

Cynara

Hi Johan,

This site should have what you are looking for:  http://www.mcb.arizona.edu/ipc/fret/.  I can send you the MS Access database on which it is based, if you wish.  It is my understanding that data cannot be copyrighted.

Cheers,

carl

Hi, Johan -

A colleague of mine (Max Ulbrich) has an applet in which he has incorporated many different fluorophores (as well as filters, lasers, cameras, etc.) and their ex/em spectra from the manufacturers/producers. It's not all-inclusive, but if you send him suggestions, he will add to it!

You can view it here: http://www.online-spectra.com/applet.html

Best,
 Holly

Dear Johan--

George McNamara has links to a bunch of different sites:
http://home.earthlink.net/~geomcnamara/spectra_links.htm

Good luck!

I recently downloaded instruview.

this makes use of the database found here
http://turmac13.chem.columbia.edu/fretview/test.dal

This can be imported and other fluorophores
added

Good luck with the search

The Invitrogen spectra-viewer has superseded the Bio-Rad spectra viewer after Zeiss killed off Bio-Rad [UK]:

 

http://www.invitrogen.com/site/us/en/home/support/Research-Tools/Fluorescence-SpectraViewer.reg.uk.html

 

It makes no comment on copyright, so probably an acknowledgement will suffice, particularly within PowerPoint presentations. You do have to know the analogues for some things, e.g DsRed. To copy image info use the keyboard PrintScreen button and paste into Photoshop to edit out what you need.

The Bio-Rad viewer is now reborn as the Zeiss Spectral Viewer

https://www.micro-shop.zeiss.com/us/us_en/spektral.php?cp_sid=&f=db
and it has DsRed

Also check out the flow cytometry site for their specific fluorescence surface type markers.

Disclaimer “This online tool is designed to aid customer understanding of important principles, dependencies, and relationships involved in selecting fluorochromes for multicolor flow cytometry. Users of this tool should ultimately rely on their own judgement when selecting fluorochromes for multicolor panels and experiments.”

Regards

Sorry misread your question, missed the open source bit.
