On the website of the company Biotium that sells them they seem great, of course. But can anyone provide practical experience comparing say, CF 488A to similar dyes like Alexa 488 and Dylight 488 in terms of brightness and photostability?

CF fluorescent dye is similar to the traditional blue fluorescent dye, AMCA. However, it is more water-soluble, more photo stable and 50% more
fluorescent on proteins.

" At present, CF® dyes bear the core structures of coumarin, pyrene, rhodamine or cyanine dyes. Blue fluorescent CF® dyes are based on coumarin or pyrene dye core "

CF dyes are practically/experimentally well performing as they are mentioning. However, the exact structures of these dyes are still unknown.
