RS-14 is a near-infrared fluorescent dye with an excitation of 499-599nm and emission of 582-760nm.
The distance between the excitation and emission wavelengths is called the Stokes Shift and is a key aspect in the detection of the emitted fluorescence in biological applications. The detection of emitted fluorescence can be difficult to distinguish from the excitation light when using fluorophores with very small Stokes shifts, because the excitation and emission wavelengths greatly overlap. Conversely, fluorophores with large Stokes shifts are easy to distinguish because of the large separation between the excitation and emission wavelengths. The Stokes shift is especially critical in multiplex fluorescence applications, because the emission wavelength of one fluor may overlap, and therefore excite, another fluor in the same sample.
