Description

General description

This labeling kit is for labeling 50-100 μg antibody with the far red fluorescent dye CF680. Mix-n-Stain CF dye antibody labeling kits are a revolutionary antibody labeling technology that permits one to label antibodies with our superior CF dyes in 30 minutes without a purification step. The labeling procedure tolerates many common buffer components and antibody stabilizers. CF680 is one of the outstanding near-IR dyes excitable at about 680 nm with emission at about 700 nm. CF680 is a highly water-soluble cyanine-based dye that is excellent for labeling antibodies, producing the brightest fluorescence and highest signal-to-noise ratio in immunostaining among spectrally similar dyes, such as Cy^®5.5, Alexa Fluor^™ 680, DyLight^®680 and IRDye^® 680. CF680 is ideal for detection applications such as near-IR Western blotting and in vivo imaging.

Application

The Mix-n-Stain CF dye antibody labeling kit can be used to label primary antibody for ELISA, western blot, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence or immunocytochemistry applications.

Features and Benefits

Mix-n-Stain CF dye antibody labeling kits dramatically simplify the process of preparing fluorescently labeled antibodies, particularly primary antibodies. Simply mix your antibody with a CF dye of your choice in the buffer provided, a step that takes less than 30 seconds of hands-on time. After waiting for another 30 minutes, without a separation step, you will have a fluorescent antibody conjugate that is as good as the best pre-labeled fluorescent antibody you can buy from some of the leading suppliers. There is no need to calculate how much dye you should use; just mix your antibody with the entire amount of dye provided and you will always produce optimal labeling. Moreover, the labeling reaction can tolerate the presence of common stabilizers, such as sodium azide, Tris, glycerol and low level of BSA.

Components

The kit consists of 1 vial each of Mix-n-Stain Dye, Mix-n-Stain Reaction Buffer (10x), Mix-n-Stain Storage Buffer, and an ultrafiltration vial.

Analysis Note
