Goat Anti-Rat IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) is a preadsorbed secondary antibody with a maximum absorption wavelength of 495nm and a maximum emission wavelength of 519nm. Ideal for fluorescent cell and tissue imaging. Suitable for IHC, ICC/IF, Flow Cytometry and ELISA.

- Preadsorbed to prevent cross-reactivity and reduce background staining
- Intense fluorescence and high photostability allowing more time for image capture especially when detecting low abundance targets
- Minimal spectral overlap with other Alexa Fluor® dyes makes this ideal for use in multi-color analysis
- Cited in over 70 publications

Specificity

By immunoelectrophoresis and ELISA this antibody reacts specifically with rat IgG and with light chain common to other rat immunoglobulins. No antibody was detected against non-immunoglobulin serum proteins. Less than 1% cross reactivity to bovine, chicken, human, mouse, rabbit and sheep IgG was detected. This antibody may cross react with IgG from other species.
