Merck, MX594S50-1KT, Mix-n-Stain™ CF™ 594 Antibody Labeling Kit (20-50μg)

General description
This labeling kit is for labeling 20-50 μg antibody with the deep red fluorescent dye CF594. 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. CF594 is a deep red fluorescent dye spectrally similar to Alexa Fluor™ 594 and Texas Red® dyes. On protein, CF594 is significantly brighter than Alexa Fluor™ 594 due to its high quantum yield and exceptional water solubility. CF594 also has excellent photostability ideal for demanding applications such as confocal microscopy and single molecular 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
A major advantage of the labeling kits is the superior CF dyes, many of which are brighter and more photostable than Alexa Fluor™ dyes and other similar commercial dyes. With a large list of CF dyes of wavelengths covering the entire visible and near-infrared spectra, you have unprecedented freedom to label any commercial primary antibody with a color of your choice, making multi-color detection simple and affordable.
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.
