Vysis™ SpectrumFRed™, SpectrumRed™, SpectrumGold™, SpectrumOrange™, SpectrumGreen™, SpectrumAqua™, and SpectrumBlue™ Series Vysis'™ SpectrumFRed™, SpectrumRed™, SpectrumGold™, SpectrumOrange™, SpectrumGreen™, SpectrumAqua™, and SpectrumBlue™ Series Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH)* Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH)* Probes and Fluorescent Nucleotides Fluorescence Characteristics. 

VYSIS direct-labeled FISH* probes and fluor-labeled nucleotides have the following nominal fluorescence characteristics VYSIS direct-labeled FISH* probes and fluor-labeled nucleotides have the following nominal fluorescence characteristics (all units in nanometers):

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.
