  • Publication number: 20200124521
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fluorescent probe for flow cytometry that includes a carrier molecule and porphyrin bound to the carrier molecule and in which an excitation wavelength of the fluorescent probe for flow cytometry is in a range of 350 to 650 nm. The present invention also relates to a method for screening fluorescence-labeled cells using a flow cytometer that includes a step of fluorescently labeling cells with a fluorescent probe for flow cytometry and a step of screening fluorescence-labeled cells labeled with the fluorescent probe for flow cytometry using a flow cytometer, and in which the screening of the fluorescence-labeled cells using a flow cytometer is performed by irradiating the fluorescence-labeled cells with excitation light with a wavelength of 350 to 650 nm and detecting fluorescence.

  • Publication number: 20190137396
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fluorescent probe including a carrier molecule, a fluorescent dye a bound to the carrier molecule, and a fluorescent dye b bound to the carrier molecule in which the excitation wavelengths of the fluorescent dyes a and b are different, and FRET does not occur between the fluorescent dyes a and b. The present invention also relates to a method for detecting fluorescence that includes a step of labeling target cells with the fluorescent probe, and a step of irradiating the target cells labeled with the fluorescent probe with excitation light and observing the fluorescence from the fluorescent probe.
