General description

This labeling kit is for labeling 5-20 μg antibody with the far red fluorescent dye CF633. Mix-n-Stain CF dye antibody labeling kits are a revolutionary antibody labeling technology that permits one to label antibodies with our superior CF dyes in 30 minutes without a purification step. The labeling procedure tolerates many common buffer components and antibody stabilizers. CF633 is a novel rhodamine-based far-red dye with excellent fluorescence quantum yield and exceptional photostability. The dye can be efficiently excited by the 633 or 635 nm laser with emission maximum at 650 nm. Both the excitation and emission wavelengths of CF633 are shorter than those of the cyanine-based dye Cy®5 or Alexa Fluor 647. Despite the spectral difference, CF633 is still brighter than Alexa Fluor 647 and other similar cyanine dyes when used in flow cytometry applications on popular flow cytometers. However, on other instruments where the detection windows are more optimized for Cy®5-like dyes, the full advantage of CF633 may not be evident. Ensure that instrument settings are optimized for use with CF633 to obtain the most benefit from the dye. The most important advantage of CF633 is its exceptional photostability, which is unmatched by any of the cyaninebased far-red dyes, including Cy®5, Alexa Fluor 647 and DyLight® 649.

Application

The Mix-n-Stain CF dye antibody labeling kit can be used to label primary antibody for ELISA, western blot, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence or immunocytochemistry applications.

Features and Benefits

Mix-n-Stain CF dye antibody labeling kits dramatically simplify the process of preparing fluorescently labeled antibodies, particularly primary antibodies. Simply mix your antibody with a CF dye of your choice in the buffer provided, a step that takes less than 30 seconds of hands-on time. After waiting for another 30 minutes, without a separation step, you will have a fluorescent antibody conjugate that is as good as the best pre-labeled fluorescent antibody you can buy from some of the leading suppliers. There is no need to calculate how much dye you should use; just mix your antibody with the entire amount of dye provided and you will always produce optimal labeling. Moreover, the labeling reaction can tolerate the presence of common stabilizers, such as sodium azide, Tris, glycerol and low level of BSA.

Components

The kit consists of 1 vial each of Mix-n-Stain Dye, Mix-n-Stain Reaction Buffer (10x), Mix-n-Stain Storage Buffer, and an ultrafiltration vial.
