DyLight® 633 Conjugation Kit (Fast) - Lightning-Link®

Product details

DyLight^® 633 Conjugation Kit / DyLight^® 633 Labeling Kit ab201802 uses a simple and quick process  for DyLight 633 labeling / conjugation of antibodies. It can also be used to conjugate other proteins or peptides. Learn about our antibody labeling kits and their advantages.

To conjugate an antibody to DyLight^® 633 using this kit:
- add modifier to antibody and incubate for 15 mins
- add quencher and incubate for 5 mins
The DyLight^® 633 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.

Learn about buffer compatibility below; for incompatible buffers and low antibody concentrations, use our rapid antibody purification and concentration kits. Use the FAQ to learn more about the technology, or about conjugating other proteins and peptides to DyLight^® 633.

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 DyLight^® 633 Labeling Kit. 325-0015 is the same as the 1 mg size. 325-0010 is the same as the 3 x 100 ug size. 325-0030 is the same as the 3 x 10 ug size. 325-0005 is the same as the 100 ug size.

Amount and volume of antibody for conjugation to DyLight^® 633

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

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

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

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.
