We are pleased to announce that our catalog has grown again and now includes secondary antibodies conjugated with DyLight® 488, DyLight® 549, DyLight® 594 and DyLight® 649, available in affinity purified and pre-adsorbed formats.

We have added almost 150 DyLight® products to our catalog because DyLight® dyes show higher fluorescence intensity and photostability than the convential fluorochromes, such as FITC and Texas Red. DyLight® dyes have a narrower emission spectra, which results in less leakage into other fluorescence channels, making it easier for multiple labeling. The improved photostability means they can last longer under fluorescent light without getting bleached, reducing loss of signal intensity.

Read about more about the advantages of DyLight® and the benefits of pre-adsorbed DyLight® conjugated secondary antibodies.

Our Scientific Support team have also written guides to help you find the right secondary antibody and how to choose a conjugate.
