Suitable for immunofluorescence microscopy, high-resolution fluorescence imaging, multiplex staining, indirect fluorescence detection in flow cytometry and related fluorescence-based assays. The preservative-free formulation may also be used for live-cell surface staining when the primary antibody recognizes an accessible extracellular epitope.
ATTO-labeled secondary antibodies combine strong fluorescence output with high photostability and reliable performance in fluorescence-based detection. Donkey Anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) ATTO550 is designed for the detection of rabbit primary antibodies in immunofluorescence microscopy, high-resolution fluorescence imaging, multiplex staining and related fluorescence-based assays.
ATTO550 has an absorption maximum at 550 nm and a fluorescence maximum at 576 nm. The resulting Stokes shift is 26 nm and supports effective fluorescence detection and channel separation in appropriately configured imaging experiments.
Donkey Anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) ATTO550 is antigen-specific; affinity purification removes essentially all donkey serum proteins, including immunoglobulins not specifically binding to rabbit IgG. The antibody is conjugated to ATTO550 and further purified by gel filtration.
The conjugate is supplied without preservatives or protein additives such as BSA. Gel filtration following dye conjugation removes unconjugated dye and low-molecular-weight reaction components. The preservative-free formulation supports sensitive fluorescence-based applications and may also be used for live-cell surface staining when the primary antibody recognizes an accessible extracellular epitope.
The antibody is supplied as 1.0 mg lyophilized powder and shipped at ambient temperature. A glycerol buffer is included for reconstitution to 2 mg/ml. After reconstitution, the glycerol stock may be stored at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
