What is the excitation and emission wavelength for rhodamine?
Rhodamine is a generic term for a wide variety of cationic dyes whose fluorescence emission can range from green, orange to red. The table below lists the excitation and emission maxima (nm), as well as molar extinction coefficients (EC; cm-1 M-1), for various rhodamine dyes (data derived with dye dissolved in methanol).
I am seeing high background outside of my neuronal cells when using membrane potential indicators. What can I do to reduce background?
If you use our FluoVolt Membrane Potential Kit (Cat. No. F10488), the kit provides a background suppressor to reduce this problem. For other indicators, consider the use of BackDrop Background Suppressor (Cat no. R37603, B10511, and B10512).
