The EnkiLife Cyanine2 labeling kit includes multiple components for labeling antibody proteins, such as high - performance fluorescent dye, ultrafiltration centrifuge tubes for purification, and labeling buffers. It enables easy and reliable labeling of antibodies and proteins.
Features
Fast: Labeling takes only about 30 minutes, balancing labeling effectiveness and efficiency.
Convenient: Each dye reagent is pre - optimized for corresponding antibody amounts, eliminating complex calculations. The solid dye form ensures batch stability, and following the steps yields good results.
Flexible: In the large - scale kit, the dye is pre - portioned for consistent batch performance, making it convenient for multiple labeling uses.
Outstanding labeling performance: The optimized labeling buffer ensures relatively fixed dye labeling sites, enhancing the homogeneity of labeled antibodies.
Amine - specific labeling: The activating group on the fluorescent dye efficiently labels antibodies and other purified proteins at primary amines.
Labeled proteins: This kit is mainly designed for IgG antibody labeling. Proteins similar in size and properties to IgG antibodies can also be labeled.

Cyanine2 - Antibody Labeling Principle
Within a certain pH range, the activated group of the fluorescent dye specifically reacts with primary amino groups on antibody proteins to form stable amide bonds, thereby conjugating the dye to the antibody protein.
