Description
Label or Dye: Alexa Fluor 680
Unit Size: Each
• Fluorescently label up to 1 mg of protein per reaction (three reactions per kit)
• Label 0.5–3 mg per reaction with DSB-X Biotin Protein Labeling Kit (five reactions per kit)
• Labeled proteins ready to use in 90 min. (∼15 min. hands-on time)
• Rapidly purify proteins by quickly removing unbound dye using pre-packed Zeba Dye and Biotin Removal Spin Columns (7K MWCO, Cat. No. A44299) for >85% recovery
• Includes detailed instructions for determining degree of labeling (DOL)Each protein labeling kit contains everything you need to perform 3-5 separate labeling reactions and purify the resulting conjugates. The reactive dye has either a succinimidyl ester (SE) or a tetrafluorophenyl (TFP) ester moiety that reacts efficiently with primary amines of proteins to form stable dye–protein conjugates. Each of the vials of reactive dye provided in the kit is sufficient for labeling 1 mg of a variety of purified proteins, including growth factors, cytokines, nanobodies, enzymes, cell-adhesion molecules, and antibodies.Direct labeling with fluorophores allows multiple primary antibodies of the same isotype (derived from the same species) to be used in the same experiment. Stabilizing proteins such as BSA should be removed from the sample before labeling.The different protein labeling kits

• DSB-X Biotin– Conjugates can be reversibly bound to biotin-binding proteins such as streptavidin or avidin. The concentration (mg/mL) of the DSB-X Biotin-labeled antibody preparation can be determined by measuring the absorbance of the dialyzed sample at 280 nm and dividing this value by 1.3 or 1.4 when measured in solution in a cuvette with a 1-cm pathlength. DSB-X Biotin does not absorb significantly at 280 nm.For labeling smaller amounts of antibodies (∼100 μg), we recommend our antibody labeling kits. Please review the protein labeling kit user manual for more in depth information, protocols, molecular weights, and degree of labeling for each dye.
