Key facts

Product details

Streptavidin Conjugation Kit / Streptavidin Labeling Kit ab102921 uses a simple and quick process for streptavidin labeling / conjugation of antibodies. It can also be used to conjugate other proteins or peptides. To conjugate an antibody to Streptavidin using this kit:
- add modifier to antibody and incubate for 3 hrs
- add quencher and incubate for 30 mins

The 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. 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® Streptavidin Labeling Kit. 708-0005 is the same as the 100 μg size. 708-0010 is the same as the 3 x 100 ug size. 708-0030 is the same as the 3 x 10 ug size. 708-0015 is the same as the 1 mg size.

Amount and volume of antibody for conjugation to Streptavidin

Kit size Recommended maximum
amount of antibody
Maximum antibody
volume1
3 x 10 μg 3 x 10 μg 3 x 10 μL
100 μg 100 μg 100 μL
3 x 100 μg 3 x 100 μg 3 x 100 μL
1 x 1 mg 1 x 1 mg 1 x 1 mL

1 Ideal antibody concentration is 1mg/ml. 0.5 - 1 mg/ml can be used if the maximum antibody volume is not exceeded. Antibodies > 5mg/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% Tris1 0.1% BSA 50% glycerol
0.1% sodium azide PBS Potassium phosphate
Sodium chloride HEPES Sucrose
Sodium citrate EDTA Trehalose

1 Tris buffered saline is almost always ≤ 50 mM / 0.6%

Incompatible buffer constituents

Thiomerosal Proclin Glycine
Arginine Glutathione DTT

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 are not suitable for conjugation.

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.
