Suitable for immunofluorescence microscopy, multiplex fluorescence imaging and related fluorescence-based assays. The conjugate is supplied without preservatives or protein additives such as BSA.
ATTO-labeled secondary antibodies combine high fluorescence intensity with strong photostability and reliable performance in fluorescence-based immunodetection. Donkey Anti-Mouse IgG (H+L) ATTO490LS specifically detects mouse primary antibodies and is suitable for widefield and confocal immunofluorescence microscopy as well as multiplex fluorescence applications requiring pronounced spectral separation between excitation and emission.
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 excited with the widely available 488 nm laser line while its fluorescence is detected in the far-red spectral range. The near-complete separation of excitation and emission reduces excitation-light bleed-through and enables multiplex combinations with green-emitting fluorophores such as ATTO488 or ATTO514.
Donkey Anti-Mouse IgG (H+L) ATTO490LS is antigen-specific; affinity purification removes essentially all donkey serum proteins, including immunoglobulins not specifically binding to mouse IgG. Following conjugation to ATTO490LS, the antibody is further purified by size-exclusion chromatography to remove unbound dye and low-molecular-weight reaction components. The conjugate is supplied without preservatives or protein additives such as BSA.
