Merck, MXBIOS50-1KT, Mix-n-Stain™ Biotin Antibody Labeling Kit (20-50μg)

General description
This labeling kit is for labeling 20-50 μg antibody with our proprietary biotin reagent.
Mix-n-Stain Biotin Antibody Labeling Kit contains everything you need to rapidly label an antibody with biotin for secondary detection using an enzymatically or fluorescently labeled anti-biotin antibody or streptavidin.
After labeling, biotin is covalently linked to the antibody with a degree of labeling of 4–6 biotin molecules per antibody molecule.
Multiple antibodies labeled with biotin or CF™ dyes using different Mix-n-Stain kits can be used for multicolor fluorescence staining without transfer of biotin or dyes between antibodies.
Application
The Mix-n-Stain biotin antibody labeling kit can be used to attach this important hapten to biomolecules of interest for subsequent signal amplification detection with enzyme or fluorescent labeled streptavidin, avidin or neutravidin. The kit is suitable for labeling commercially available primary antibodies, either directly or after a simple antibody clean-up step. After labeling, the biotin is covalently linked to the antibody.
Features and Benefits
Mix-n-Stain Biotin dye antibody labeling kits dramatically simplify the process of preparing biotin labeled antibodies, particularly primary antibodies. Simply mix your antibody with biotin reagent 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 biotin labeled antibody conjugate. There is no need to calculate how much biotin reagent you should use; just mix your antibody with the entire amount of biotin 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.
Other Notes
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.
