Overview

  • Product name

    FITC Conjugation Kit (Fast) - Lightning-Link®
    See all FITC kits
  • Product overview

    FITC Conjugation Kit  / FITC Labeling Kit (Fast) (ab188285) uses a simple and quick process for FITC / Fluorescein 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 FITC / Fluorescein 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 FITC.


    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 Fluorescein Labeling Kit. 310-0005 is the same as the 100 ug size. 310-0010 is the same as the 3 x 100 ug size. 310-0030 is the same as the 3 x 10 ug size. 310-0015 is the same as the 1 mg size.

    Amount and volume of antibody for conjugation to FITC

    volume2
    3 x 10 µg 3 x 10 µg  3 x 20 µg 3 x 10 µL

    1 mg 1 x 1 mg 1 x 2 mg 1 x 1 mL

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

    2 Ideal antibody concentration is 1mg/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.

    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.

    Robinson, Andrew P., et al used FITC Conjugation Kit (Fast) - Lightning-Link® (ab188285) as part of characterizing oligodendroglial populations. They used the kit to conjugate FITC to Rat anti-PDGFRalpha antibody, clone APA5, for use in flow cytometry.
    SJL/J mice were immunized with PLP139–151 and scored daily for clinical disease. A cohort of SJL/J mice was sacrificed, and spinal cords were analyzed by flow cytometry (n = 5). (A) Cells were distinguished from debris by forward and side scatter then singlet cells were gated. Live cells were gated by dead cell exclusion, and CNS resident cells were identified as CD45− or CD45low. (B) Oligodendroglial cells were defined by double positive staining: A2B5+PDGFRα+ early OPCs, A2B5+NG2+ intermediate OPCs, NG2+O4+ late OPCs, O4+MOG+ pre-myelinating oligodendrocytes, and GALC+MOG+ mature oligodendrocytes.
