Alexa Fluor® conjugated secondary antibodies
Related
Alexa Fluor® dyes are extensively tested for fluorescent cell staining to ensure bright staining and low background.
Customer review
Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150113)
"It worked perfectly... The intensity of the fluorescence was really great too, strongly recommend."
Features | |
| Brightest dyes | The fluorescence intensity of Alexa Fluor® dyes outperform other spectrally similar dyes |
| Greater photostability | Increased photostability allows for longer periods of image capture |
| pH insensitivity | Alexa Fluor® fluorescence intensity remains high over a broad pH range |
| Good water solubility | Good water solubility prevents the precipitation and aggregation of Alexa Fluor® conjugated antibodies |
Performance
- In house manufacturing within our laboratories guarantees consistency and quality.
- Alexa Fluor® conjugates ensure you make the most of your money by providing lower optimal working dilutions.
- The wavelength at which Alexa Fluor® conjugates absorb matches the most common operational wavelengths of excitation sources.
Conjugation
- We currently offer nine Alexa Fluor® dyes covering the whole of the spectrum from the UV to the far infrared.
- The Alexa Fluor® dyes have been conjugated to a large number of secondary antibodies raised in different species including donkey, goat and rabbit.
- A large number within the range are pre-adsorbed ensuring low species cross reactivity - thus ideal for multi-color analysis.
Validation
- Our Alexa Fluor® conjugated secondary antibodies have been tested in a wide range of applications including immunofluorescence/immunocytochemistry (IF/ICC), flow-cytometry, and fluorescent western blot.
