Suited for multiplex fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry and related fluorescence-based applications. The large Stokes shift facilitates spectral separation, while the preservative-free formulation minimizes interference in sensitive assay conditions.
ATTO-labeled secondary antibodies combine high fluorescence intensity with strong photostability and reliable performance in fluorescence-based immunodetection. Donkey Anti-Goat IgG (H+L) ATTO490LS specifically detects goat primary antibodies and is suitable for widefield and confocal fluorescence microscopy as well as other fluorescence-based immunodetection applications. Its large Stokes shift makes the conjugate particularly valuable for multiplex imaging and applications requiring pronounced spectral separation between excitation and detection channels.
ATTO490LS has an absorption maximum at 496 nm and a fluorescence maximum at 661 nm, corresponding to an exceptionally large Stokes shift of 165 nm. The conjugate can be efficiently excited using the widely available 488 nm laser line while its fluorescence is detected in the far-red spectral region. The near-complete separation of the absorption and emission spectra reduces excitation-light bleed-through and enables spectral combinations that are difficult to achieve with conventional fluorophores exhibiting smaller Stokes shifts. ATTO490LS is particularly suitable for multiplex combinations with green-emitting fluorophores such as ATTO488 or ATTO514, because these fluorophores can be excited within a similar spectral range while remaining clearly separated at the emission level.
Donkey Anti-Goat IgG (H+L) ATTO490LS is antigen-specific; affinity purification removes essentially all donkey serum proteins, including immunoglobulins not specifically binding to goat IgG. Following conjugation to ATTO490LS, 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 ATTO490LS, 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.
