IgG fraction Monoclonal Mouse Anti-Biotin may be used either as direct conjugates, or for more sensitivity, they can be used unconjugated followed by a conjugated anti-mouse IgG (H+L) for signal enhancement.
Fluorescein (FITC)
Amax: 492
Emax: 520nm
FITC (Fluorescein isothiocyanate) is the form of fluorescein used for conjugation to all of our antibodies and purified proteins, with the exception of streptavidin. Fluorescein conjugates absorb light maximally at 492 nm and fluoresce maximally at 520 nm. Although less bright than other green-fluorescing dyes, FITC is still a widely used fluorophore due to its long history. The major disadvantage of fluorescein is its rapid photobleaching (fading), which can be mitigated by the use of an anti-fading agent in the mounting medium. A better choice for many applications involving FITC is Alexa Fluor? 488 because it is brighter and more photostable.
