Product Summary for Lightning-Link (R) PE-Cy5.5 Antibody Labeling Kit

Lightning-Link antibody labeling kits enable the direct labeling of antibodies, proteins, peptides or other biomolecules for use in R&D applications, drug discovery and the development of diagnostic kits (See protocol for further information).

Our PE/Cy5.5 antibody labeling kit enables the direct conjugation of the PE/Cy5.5 tandem dye to any biomolecule with an available amine group. The researcher simply pipettes the antibody or other biomolecule into the vial of Lightning-Link label and incubates for 3 hours.

PE/Cy5.5 is a tandem conjugate. The PE has three maximal absorbance values of 498, 544 and 566nm with the optimal depending on the application. The PE functions as an energy donor for the Cy5.5. Energy is transferred from the PE to the Cy5.5 via energy resonance transfer. The Cy5.5 emits the energy received from the PE in the form of long wavelength light at 700nm.

Application Notes

By circumventing the desalting or dialysis steps that commonly interrupt traditional antibody conjugation procedures, LightningLink technology can be used to label both small (e.g. 10 ug) and large quantities of primary antibodies with ease. Batch-to-batch variation upon scale up is minimal as the process is so simple, and recoveries are always 100%. This kit can be used to label up to 600 ug of antibody, and is supplied in one vial.

Background: Lightning-Link (R) PE-Cy5.5

Easy PE/Cy5.5 labeling of your antibody with 30 seconds hands-on time. PE/Cy5.5 is a tandem conjugate. The PE is excited at 490nm and functions as an energy donor for the Cy5.5. Energy is transferred from the PE to the Cy5.5 via energy resonance transfer. The Cy5.5 emits the energy received from the PE in the form of long wavelength light at 695nm.

The Lightning-Link conjugation system represents a quantum leap forward in conjugation technology. It allows you to make antibody conjugates with minimal hands-on time - less than 30 seconds. Lightning-Link simplifies immunoassay techniques, such as western blotting, ELISA and immunohistochemistry, by eliminating secondary reagents and cutting the number of incubation and wash steps.

Despite its simplicity, Lightning-Link is a very sophisticated conjugation system in which the antibody is directionally coupled to the label (and not to itself) in a controlled fashion, creating high quality conjugates. As the procedure is not interrupted by desalting steps, trial conjugates can be prepared with microgram quantities of protein and then scaled up with ease. Lightning-Link eliminates problems associated with scale up; hands-on time is essentially independent of process scale. Consistency from batch to batch is easy to achieve, and recoveries approach 100%.
