Thioflavin T (Basic Yellow 1) is a widely used dye for visualizing and is a cationic Benzothiazole dye that shows enhanced fluorescence upon binding to amyloid in tissue sections.

Dabcyl acid (DABCYL) is the original dark fluorescence quencher.

Sulforhodamine B sodium salt (Acid Red 52) is a fluorescent dye. It can be used from laser-induced fluorescence to the quantification of cellular proteins of cultured cells.

Pyrene is a carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and a sensitive blue fluorescent group with an excitation wavelength of 338 nm and an emission wavelength of 375 nm. It can be used to detect protein-lipid interactions and conformational changes and also serves as an electron donor material.

IR-820 (New Indocyanine Green) is a near-infrared dye with improved stability, good color rendering, and excellent fluorescence penetration. It serves as an infrared blood pool contrast agent for detecting and quantifying diseased tissue in live animals, with maximal excitation (Ex) and emission (Em) of 710 and 820 nm, respectively.

DiSC3(5) is a lipophilic cationic fluorescent probe sensitive to changes in membrane potential. 3,3'-Dipropylthiadicarbocyanine iodide accumulates in hyperpolarized cell membranes, leading to fluorescence quenching; when the membranes are depolarized, the dye is released from the cells and the fluorescence intensity is enhanced, which is used for real-time monitoring of mitochondrial membrane potential changes and membrane hyperpolarization. The maximum excitation/emission wavelength was 622/670 nm.

Acridine Orange base is a cell-permeable fluorescent dye that binds to nucleic acids and emits different colors of fluorescence, which exhibits green fluorescence when bound to dsDNA (Ex=488 nm, Em=520-524 nm) and red fluorescence when bound to ssDNA or ssRNA (Ex=457 nm, Em=630-644 nm) and can be used for cell cycle analysis and apoptosis detection.

4-Di-1-ASP is a positively charged fluorescent dye used to label glioma cells in live brain tissue and can also be used to observe mitochondria in live cells, with λex/λem = 475/606 nm.

N-Phenylnaphthalen-1-amine can be used as a hydrophobic fluorescent probe for detecting the critical micelle concentration of surfactants, the concentrations of organolithium and organomagnesium reagents, and phase transitions of membrane lipids in cells. It is a fluorescent probe for odour-binding proteins (OBP), with a dissociation constant of 1.67 μM, an excitation wavelength of 337 nm, and an emission wavelength of 407 nm.
