Technical Data
A4500-40
Avidin (Fluorescein)
Description:
Avidin, synthesized in the hen oviduct, is a glycoprotein of MW 68,000 daltons which occupies about 0.05% of the total protein content of the hen egg white. Native avidin is a tetrameric protein composed of four identical subunits.

Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA, Immunofluorescence, and Western Blot. Other applications have not been tested.

Recommended Dilution:
ELISA: >1:20,000
Western Blot: >1:10,000
Immunofluorescence: 1:500-1:2500
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Absorption Wavelength: 495nm

Emission Wavelength: 528nm

Fluorochrome/Protein Ratio:
3.0 moles Fluorescein/mole Rabbit IgG

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Fluorescein conjugates are sensitive to light.
