Key:

  • FWHM = full width of the spectral band at half of the peak intensity
  • DAPI = 4', 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole

Note: Vysis' SpectrumGreen™ products may be labeled with either SpectrumGreen1 or SpectrumGreen2 fluorophore. The excitation and emission of these fluorophores are not distinguishable under normal fluorescence viewing conditions but may be spectrally distinguishable using appropriate imaging and filter configurations. Please contact your Vysis technical service representative for more information.
