Description
Description: PE-Cy5 is a popular color used in flow cytometry. Its primary absorption peak is at 565 nm with emission peak at 674 nm. The filter sets of 682/33 nm and 695/40 nm are recommended for this tandem color. AAT Bioquest offers this Buccutite™ rapid labeling kit to facilitate the PE-Cy5 tandem conjugations to antibodies and other proteins such as streptavidin and other secondary reagents. Buccutite™ PE-Cy5 Conjugation Kit provides a robust and convenient method to conjugate your antibodies with PE. The kit includes an activated PE and reaction buffer. The conjugated antibody can be used in WB, ELISA and IHC applications. This kit is sufficient for 2 labeling reactions, each up to 100 ug of antibody. Considering the large size of PE (240 kDa), the amount of antibody used in a labeling reaction must always be less than the amount of RPE. The best ratio for any new antibody reagent must be determined by experimentation but 50-60 ug of IgG antibody for every 100 ug of RPE usually gives optimal results. Our kit provides preactivated PE-Cy5 to facilitate the PE-Cy5 tandem conjugations to antibodies and other proteins such as streptavidin and other secondary reagents. Our preactivated PE-Cy5 tandem is ready to conjugate, giving much higher yield than the conventionally tedious SMCC-based conjugation chemistry. In addition, our preactivated PE-Cy5 tandem is conjugated to a protein via its amino group that is abundant in proteins while SMCC chemistry targets the thiol group that has to be regenerated by the reduction of antibodies.
