MaxLight™550 is a new Yellow-Green photostable dye conjugate comparable to Alexa Fluor™546, 555, DyLight™549 , Cy3™, TRITC and offers better labeling efficiency, brighter imaging and increased immunodetection. Absorbance (550nm); Emission (575nm); Extinction Coefficient 150,000.
Applications
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Not suitable for Immunofluorescene. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution
Western Blot: 1:500-1000 dilution for detected against sperm lysates, using standard alkaline phosphatase with NBT/BCIP detection. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability
Store product at 4°C in the dark. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C for 12 months after receipt as an undiluted liquid. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: MaxLight™550 conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap.
Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
Immunogen
Recombinant protein corresponding to mouse fertilin produced by baculovirus expressin in SF9 cells
Form
Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.2. No preservative added. Labeled with MaxLight™550.
Specificity
Recognizes mouse fertilin beta by Western Blot, staining of bands in a 46–48kD range (multiple bands are due to variable protein glycosylation).
