Quick question:  We are using a FACSAria with a 407nm laser.  We are wanting to get a dye
that is excited at 407nm and is as bright as possible (when conjugated to an antibody
with MP's Zenon reagents).  The current PMT filters are at 530/30 nm and 450/40 nm.  We
could change those if that would help.

We have tried Alexa 430 and found it to be rather dull.  Any thoughts about whether Alexa
405 or Cascade Blue would be any brighter?

Thanks.

Alice
