Mix-n-Stain™ CF488A Antibody Labeling Kit is a green fluorescent dye optimally excited by the 488 nm argon laser line. Antibody conjugates with CF™488A are biologically more specific than competing fluorescent labeling dyes. CF™488A is minimally charged, ensuring a higher signal-to-noise ratio. Additionally, CF™488A has a slightly shorter peak emission wavelength (515 nm) than traditional green dyes such as FITC or FAM, with less fluorescent spill-over into the red channel of multi-color detection applications.
Mix-n-Stain™ antibody labeling kits are a revolutionary antibody labeling technology that allows you to label your primary antibody with biotin or one of our superior CF™ dyes in 30 minutes without the need for a purification step. The labeling procedure tolerates many common buffer components and antibody stabilizers. CF™dyes are highly water soluble, small organic dyes designed for labeling proteins and nucleic acids. Many of our CF™ dyes are brighter and more photostable than competing dyes. Click the link for a complete list of more than 20 GoldBio CF™ antibody labeling kits.
