Optimal for fluorescence-based applications, including confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, and live-cell imaging. Compatible with multiplex imaging approaches due to its distinct optical properties.
ATTO-labeled secondary antibodies are advanced tools for fluorescence imaging, providing exceptional brightness, photostability, and reproducibility. Goat Anti-Guinea Pig IgG ATTO488 exhibits a distinct excitation/emission spectrum (λex: 501 nm, λem: 523 nm), making it ideal for high-sensitivity detection in fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry.
The ATTO488 dye is characterized by its high fluorescence quantum yield and minimal photobleaching, ensuring consistent performance in demanding experimental conditions. Its compatibility with standard FITC filter sets makes it a versatile choice for various imaging platforms, enabling accurate and reproducible results.
This antibody is preservative-free, making it suitable for sensitive applications such as live-cell imaging and super-resolution microscopy. Its high specificity and low background signal allow precise target localization, even in complex biological samples.
Specification
Immunofluorescence: 1:500–1:1500, Degree of Labeling (DOL): 2-9, Unconjugated dye ≤5% of total fluorescence.
Optical Properties
λex: 501 nm, λem: 523 nm
Properties
Form
Lyophilized
Nominal concentration
2 mg/ml (after reconstitution with buffer)
The antibody is shipped in unit sizes of 1.0 mg as a lyophilized powder, shipped at room temperature. To reconstitute the antibody before use, a glycerol buffer is included for convenience. This allows to re-freeze the antibody after use at -20°C, to keep the quality and/or to prepare aliquots, which can be stored at -20
Content
1.0 mg Goat Anti-Guinea Pig IgG (H+L) ATTO488
1.0 ml Glycerol buffer (add 0.5 ml to reconstitute the lyophilized antibody)
Buffer: 50% glycerol, 0.01 M sodium phosphate, 0.1 M sodium chloride, pH 7.4
Clonality
Polyclonal
Isotype
IgG
Purification notes
Affinity purification effectively removed all goat serum proteins, including immunoglobulins not specifically binding to guinea pig IgG. After conjugation to the dye, the antibody was further purified by gel filtration, resulting in a highly pure and specific antibody.
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.
