Notes

Cy3 Conjugation Kit / Cy3 Labeling Kit ab188287 uses a simple and quick process for Cy3 labeling / conjugation of antibodies. It can also be used to conjugate other proteins or peptides. Learn about our . To conjugate an antibody to Cy3 using this kit: - add modifier to antibody and incubate for 15 mins - add quencher and incubate for 5 mins The Cy3 conjugated antibody can be used immediately in WB, ELISA, IHC etc. No further purification is required and 100% of the antibody is recovered for use. The excitation and emmision wavelengths for Cy3® are Ex: 552nm, Em: 565nm. Learn about buffer compatibility below; for incompatible buffers and low antibody concentrations, use our rapid . Use the to learn more about the technology, or about conjugating other proteins and peptides to Cy3. Custom size conjugation kits up to 100 mg are available on demand. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

This product is manufactured by Expedeon, an Abcam company, and was previously called Lightning-Link® Rapid Cy3 Labeling Kit. 340-0005 is the same as the 100 μg size. 340-0010 is the same as the 3 x 100 ug size. 340-0030 is the same as the 3 x 10 ug size. 340-0015 is the same as the 1 mg size.

1 Using the maximum amount of antibody may result in less labelling per antibody.

2 Ideal antibody concentration is 1mg/ml. 0.5 - 1 mg/ml can be used if the maximum antibody volume is not exceeded. Antibodies > 2mg/ml or < 0.5 mg/ml should be diluted /concentrated.

Buffer Requirements for Conjugation

Buffer should be pH 6.5-8.5.

Compatible buffer constituents
If a concentration is shown, then the constituent should be no more than the concentration shown. If several constituents are close to the limit of acceptable concentration, then this can inhibit conjugation.

50mM / 0.6% Tris10.1% BSA250% glycerol
0.1% sodium azidePBSPotassium phosphate
Sodium chlorideHEPESSucrose
Sodium citrateEDTATrehalose

1 Tris buffered saline is almost always ≤ 50 mM / 0.6%
2 BSA can also interfere with the use of the conjugated antibody in tissue staining.

Incompatible buffer constituents

ThiomerosalProclinGlycine
ArginineGlutathioneDTT

If a constituent of the buffer containing your antibody or protein is not listed above, please contact us.

Only purified antibodies are suitable for use, ie. where other proteins, peptides, or amino acids are not present: antibodies in ascites fluid, serum or hybridoma culture media are incompatible.

Storing and handling conjugation kits

Lyophilized Lightning-Link® components are hygroscopic.

Kits are intentionally shipped at ambient temperature with silica gel to avoid exposure to moisture. Upon receipt, store the kit frozen and protect from moisture. Before opening the outer container, allow the lyophilized components to reach room temperature to minimize condensation.
