About CD61
The ITGB3 protein product is the integrin beta chain beta 3. Integrins are integral cell-surface proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. A given chain may combine with multiple partners resulting in different integrins. Integrin beta 3 is found along with the alpha IIb chain in platelets. Integrins are known to participate in cell adhesion as well as cell-surface mediated signalling. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

About Brilliant Violet 750
Brilliant™ Violet 750 (BV750) is a red-emitting tandem fluorophore that can be excited by the 405 nm Violet laser and collected using a 780/60 bandpass filter with a 740 LP dichroic mirror. BV750 has an excitation peak at 405 nm and an emission peak at 750 nm. Due to its unique Stokes shift, no dyes have identical or near identical excitation and emission spectrums. BV750 exhibits a medium level of brightness and is most often used in flow cytometry. Older instruments may not be set up for a dye with such a large Stokes shift, however BV750 is especially well suited for spectral cytometers or sorters. This dye is part of the Brilliant™ Violet dye line of fluorescent polymers. Brilliant™ Violet 421 polymer is employed as the donor molecule in a series of tandem dyes with acceptor molecules emitting at various points across the visible light spectrum. The Brilliant™ Violet dyes are a superior alternative to QDot nanocrystals and similar to SuperNova dye from Beckman Coulter and StarBright dyes from Bio-Rad.
