Label
Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) (Molecular Weight 390 daltons)
Absorption Wavelength
495 nm
Emission Wavelength
528 nm
Fluorochrome/Protein Ratio
3.6 moles FITC per mole of Goat IgG
Storage and Stability
Store product at 4°C if to be used immediately within two weeks. For long-term storage, aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable at -20°C for 12 months after receipt. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: FITC conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
Immunogen
Bovine IgG F(c) fragment
