Product name
Donkey Anti-Goat IgG (H+L) ATTO488 | DXG ATTO488
Target species
Goat
Description
ATTO-labeled secondary antibodies combine high fluorescence intensity with strong photostability and reliable performance in fluorescence-based immunodetection. Donkey Anti-Goat IgG (H+L) ATTO488 specifically detects goat primary antibodies and is suitable for widefield, confocal and total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRF), flow cytometry and related fluorescence-based applications.
ATTO488 has an absorption maximum at 501 nm and a fluorescence maximum at 523 nm, producing green fluorescence. The conjugate is efficiently excited within the approximately 480–515 nm range and is well matched to the commonly available 488 nm laser line used in fluorescence microscopes and flow cytometers. Its high fluorescence intensity and strong resistance to photobleaching support sensitive detection, repeated image acquisition and extended fluorescence measurements.
ATTO488 is also established for advanced fluorescence-imaging techniques, including structured illumination microscopy (SIM), stimulated emission depletion microscopy (STED), photoactivated localization microscopy (PALM) and direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (dSTORM). The performance of the antibody conjugate in these methods depends on the labeling density, sample preparation, imaging buffer and instrument configuration used for the respective technique.
Donkey Anti-Goat IgG (H+L) ATTO488 is antigen-specific; affinity purification removes essentially all donkey serum proteins, including immunoglobulins not specifically binding to goat IgG. Following conjugation to ATTO488, the antibody is further purified by gel filtration to remove unbound dye and support low-background, reproducible fluorescence staining. The product is supplied without preservatives.

Purification notes
Affinity purification removed donkey serum proteins and immunoglobulins not specifically binding to goat IgG. Following conjugation to ATTO488, the antibody was further purified by gel filtration to remove unconjugated dye and low-molecular-weight reaction components.
Hypermol® secondary antibodies are highly specific and purified to remove unbound dye, minimizing background signal.
Storage instructions
Store as glycerol stock at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Shipping conditions
Shipped at ambient temperature.
