Tandem conjugate

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-011808",
  "term": "Tandem conjugate",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A molecule composed of two different fluorochromes covalently linked together, where the emission of one fluorochrome excites the second, resulting in a longer wavelength emission. These conjugates are widely used in flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy to achieve multiple color detection from a single excitation source. Phycoerythrin-Cy5 is a common example of a tandem conjugate.",
