Kim, Jinsu, et al used Latex Conjugation Kit - 400nm Blue (ab269892) as part of examining human malaria species with multiplex lateral flow immunoassay. They used the kit to conjugate Latex to anti-(pan)pLDH antibodies for use in lateral flow assay.
Representative test strips of the two-colour LFA. Distinct colours were observed at the test lines, corresponding a type of antigens, such as a blue test lines for pLDH detection only, b mixture colour of test lines for simultaneous detection, and c red test lines for PfHRP2 detection only. The mixture colour at control lines indicated the red and blue latex particles migrated along the length of the strip

(d) Signal-to-background ratio of strips in part c (SCA blood) and the S threshold set by previous experiment. A line present at the "A" line indicates normal, at the "S" line indicates SCA, and at neither indicates sickle cell trait (SCT). The positive control line must be present for the test to be valid.

Key facts

Product details

Latex Conjugation Kit – 400nm Blue (ab269892) allows antibodies or proteins to be conjugated to our high quality 400 nm latex nanoparticles quickly and easily. The latex nanoparticles are designed for ease of use and have much improved handling compared with traditional latex. This has been achieved by specially treating the nanoparticles. The conjugation is covalent, and requires less antibody than traditional passive and covalent latex conjugation.

The 400 nm blue latex nanoparticles in this kit are freeze dried. The conjugation reaction is initiated simply by reconstituting the dry mixture with the antibody, which becomes attached (via lysine residues) to the specially treated surface.

It takes 30 seconds to set up the conjugation, the hands-on time for the conjugation procedure is about 3 minutes and the conjugate is ready to use within 35 minutes. The biomolecule is simply pipetted into a vial containing the latex nanoparticles, then a centrifugation allows a buffer exchange.

The resulting covalent conjugates can be easily resuspended without the need for harsh methods such as sonication or vortexing, unlike traditional conjugation procedures which are prone to aggregation. This is due to the properties of the surface treatment which makes the particles resistant to aggregation.

Additionally, unlike passive methods, the conjugation procedure has only a weak dependence on the isoelectric point of the antibody. Consequently, extensive trials at different pH values are not required; all antibodies can be conjugated at one of two pHs, both of which are supplied in this kit (Reaction Buffers A and B).

Benefits of Latex Conjugation Kit:

Only 30 seconds to set up the conjugation

Three minutes hands-on time for the conjugation procedure

Conjugate is ready to use within 35 minutes – the biomolecule is simply pipetted into a vial containing the latex nanoparticles, then a centrifugation allows a buffer exchange.

General notes:

This product is manufactured by Expedeon, an Abcam company. It was previously called 400nm Blue Latex Conjugation Kit. Expedeon product code 1000-0040 (4 reaction mini kit) is the same as the 4 x 4 μg size of this product, code 1000-0100 (10 reaction mini kit) is the same as the 10 x 4 μg size, and code 1000-0120 (1 reaction mini kit) is the same as the 1 x 40 μg size of this product.

Buffer requirements:

We would suggest that the antibody to be conjugated should be in 10 – 50 mM MES, HEPES or MOPS at pH 6 – 7 (with no other components e.g. salt or azide) before conjugation. For incompatible buffers and low antibody concentrations, use our rapid antibody purification and concentration kits or Nanoparticles. To learn more about incompatible buffers, please refer to the protocol booklet.
