    Does this mean that RED670 has a "bright" emission intensity? Do cells
binding the SA-RED670 conjugate through the biotin moiety have a greater
separation from the basal level of nonspecifically stained cells due to this
increased brightness relative to other streptavidin-fluorochrome conjugates?
