Product Overview
The EnkiLife Fluor 405 Labeling Kit contains multiple components for labeling antibody proteins, such as high-performance fluorescent dye, purification ultrafiltration tubes, elution labeling buffer, and labeled protein storage solution. It enables easy and reliable labeling of antibodies, proteins, and other molecules for use as fluorescent probes.
Product Features
- Fast: Labeling reaction takes only about 30 minutes, balancing both labeling efficiency and effectiveness.
- Simple: Each dye reagent is pre-optimized for the corresponding antibody amount, eliminating tedious calculations. Follow the steps to achieve excellent results.
- Flexible: Dyes in large sizes kits can be aliquoted with consistent batch performance, convenient for multiple uses.
- Excellent Labeling: Optimized labeling buffer enables relatively fixed labeling sites, enhancing the homogeneity of labeled antibodies.
- Amine-Specific Labeling: The reactive group on Fluor 405 efficiently binds to primary amine groups on antibodies or other purified proteins, achieving covalent labeling.
- Protein Labeling: Primarily designed for IgG antibodies, but can also label proteins of similar size and properties to IgG.
Dye Introduction
Fluor405 is a blue fluorescent dye with excitation/emission maxima at 400/424 nm. This provides a near-perfect match for the 405 nm violet laser diode widely used in fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. Its excitation and emission spectra also show high overlap with the BV421 dye. Fluor405 is a derivative of Cascade Blue dye but features structural modifications that yield superior fluorescent properties. The minimal spectral overlap of Fluor405 with green fluorophores makes it an ideal choice for multicolor applications.
