High-brightness Dyes

Caption

A graphic illustration of a fluorescent nanotube on a cell. StabiLux Biosciences fluorophore technology brings high-brightness dyes to bear against previously undetectable early-stage diseases. The dyes can be a thousand times brighter than any existing dye molecule and emit fluorescence in various colors. The fluorophores can be labeled with desired antibodies for specific antigen detection. The high-brightness dyes were developed by Yoke Khin Yap, Nazmiye Yapici and Dongyan Zhang at Michigan Technological University.
