Innova Biosciences Lightning-Link PE/Atto594 and PE/Texas Red labelling kits

Innova Biosciences has released two tandem dye labelling kits, further extending its range of Lightning-Link antibody labelling kits.

In flow cytometry, tandem dyes provide higher wavelength fluorescence emission relative to the excitation wavelength and allow for multiple distinct emission ranges from a single laser. These two new kits can be used by all flow cytometry users and are especially suited to multiprotein analysis on single laser flow cytometers.

PE/Atto594 - this is a tandem conjugate that is excited at 488 nm and functions as an energy donor for the Atto594 fluorescent dye. Energy is transferred from the PE to the Atto594 dye via energy resonance transfer. The Atto594 emits the energy received from the PE in the form of long wavelength light at 627 nm.

PE/Texas Red - the PE is excited at 488 nm and functions as an energy donor for the Texas Red. Energy is transferred from the PE to the Texas Red via energy resonance transfer. The Texas Red emits the energy received from the PE in the form of long wavelength light at 615 nm.

The Lightning-Link labelling kits all feature a one-step process which requires only 30 s hands-on time. The antibody is covalently bonded to the label in a directional and controlled process at near-neutral pH.

All Innova Biosciences Lightning-Link kits are available in a number of convenient kit sizes to suit a range of sample sizes.
