Description
NIR-816 heptamethine cyanine tetrafluoroborate is a near-infrared polymethine dye with CAS number 193687-63-7 and empirical formula C₄₂H₄₄BClF₄N₂. It has a molar mass of 699,08 g/mol and EG number 812-297-1, and displays an absorption maximum of 816 nm in methanol, locating the chromophore in the deeper NIR window. The heptamethine structure with tetrafluoroborate counter-ion provides a defined absorption profile for methanol-based measurements. The material comes from manufacturer Carl ROTH within the polymethine dye range used in analytical and materials science settings. NIR-816 suits investigators who need a characterised NIR cyanine dye for photochemical studies, sensing applications, and related laboratory workflows based on polymethine chromophores.

Questions about S 0260 - FEW Chemicals, 816 nm in MeOH, 1 g, glass
What is this article?
S 0260 - FEW Chemicals, 816 nm in MeOH, 1 g, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Fluorescent dyes & labels, inside Dyes, stains & indicators, in Lab chemicals.
A fluorescent dye absorbs at one wavelength and emits at a longer one. As a label it is attached to a protein, a nucleic acid or a cell. Excitation and emission maxima, and the reactive group if it must conjugate, are the specification. The colour name does not tell you the wavelengths.
A dye or a stain binds, or changes colour, so that something invisible becomes visible. An indicator changes at a pH or a redox point. A fluorescent dye absorbs one wavelength and emits another, which is how a microscope or a plate reader picks it out. The excitation and emission, or the transition interval, are the specification. The colour name on the label is not. Structures are on PubChem under IUPAC names. Methods are in the PubMed literature.
Which category should I open next?

What should I check before I order?
The technical information on this page is the manufacturer's sheet. Read that, not a rewritten specification.
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
