Ulex europaeus (UEA I) (Cy3)

Cy3 can be used to visualize the binding pattern of Ulex europaeus Lectin (UEA I) in cellular imaging and flow cytometry. Cy3 is more photostable than many other fluorophores and can be seen with TRITC filter sets. It is commonly combined with green-fluorescent dyes for dual-labeling.
