Product overview
Biotinylation Kit / Biotin Conjugation Kit ab201796 uses a simple and quick process for biotinylation / biotin labeling 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 Biotin using this kit:
- add modifier to antibody and incubate for 15 mins
- add quencher and incubate for 5 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; 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 Biotin.
The Type B Biotinylation Kit / Biotin Conjugation Kit is optimized to produce conjugates for assays in which the biotinylated protein is captured by streptavidin immobilized on a surface (e.g., plates, nitrocellulose, magnetic beads etc).
Use the Type A Biotinylation Kit / Biotin Conjugation Kit ab201795 to produce conjugates for assays in which a streptavidin-labeled detection reagent will be used.
Custom size conjugation kits up to 100 mg are available on demand. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Notes
This product is manufactured by Expedeon, an Abcam company, and was previously called Lightning-Link® Rapid Biotin Type B Labeling Kit. 371-0005 is the same as the 100 µg size. 371-0010 is the same as the 3 x 100 ug size. 371-0030 is the same as the 3 x 10 ug size. 371-0015 is the same as the 1 mg size.

2 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% BSA2 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%
2 BSA can also interfere with the use of the conjugated antibody in tissue staining.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 check the FAQ or 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.

Parkash, Om, et al used Biotinylation Kit / Biotin Conjugation Kit (Fast, Type B) - Lightning-Link® (ab201796) as part of the development and evaluation of a biosensor based on screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) for the detection of dengue-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies. They used the kit to conjugate Biotinylation Kit / Biotin to anti-Human IgM antibody for use in conjugation.
(A) Schematic diagram of the screen printed carbon electrode (SCPE)-based dengue IgM biosensor. The biosensor was constructed by sequentially adding optimised concentration of anti-human IgM capture antibody, blocking agent, human IgM antibody or serum sample, dengue antigen and detection antibody, with washing steps in between. Electrochemical signal was generated following addition of TMB substrate. (B) Comparison of various immobilisation techniques for the goat anti-human IgM capture antibody. NC: negative control consisting of a dengue IgM negative serum sample; PC: dengue IgM positive serum sample. (C) Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) surface images of (left panel) a bare carbon electrode and (right panel) a carbon electrode modified with an anti-human IgM antibody using the streptavidin/biotin immobilisation system. Both capture and detection antibodies were labeled using Lightning-Link® conjugation kits (ab201796 and ab102890). -
