VectaFluor Ready-to-Use (R.T.U.) DyLight dye-labeled Secondary Antibodies offer maximum convenience for fluorescence staining of cells and tissues. Our affinity purified, extensively cross-adsorbed secondary antibodies are conjugated to DyLight dyes in a manner that ensures maximum degree of labeling without compromising antibody affinity or specificity. DyLight dyes offer several advantages such as brighter fluorescence, greater photostability, and pH independence.

Features:

• Recognizes both heavy and light chains (H+L) 
• Optimally labeled with DyLight 594 to provide the brightest label for fluorescence microscopy 
• Excitation: 592 nm 
• Emission: 617 nm 
• Color: Red

Kit Contents:

• 15 ml pre-diluted, stabilized secondary antibody solution 
• 15 ml 2.5% normal horse serum for blocking

VectaFluor R.T.U. Antibody Reagents are supplied as 15 ml pre-diluted, stabilized, ready-to-use solutions along with 15 ml ready-to-use 2.5% normal horse serum for blocking.

DyLight fluorescent dyes are direct alternatives to traditional fluorophores such as fluorescein (FITC) and rhodamine. The excitation and emission spectra parallel that of other commercially available fluorescent reagents allowing for easy substitution into an existing protocol without requiring any further instrumentation or filter sets.  

DyLight dyes offer a number of potential advantages including greater photostability and brighter fluorescence.  DyLight dyes are completely stable over a pH range of 4-9 making them compatible with many aqueous-based buffers and diluents. The DyLight dyes can be applied as single labels or in combination with other DyLight dyes and fluorophores as part of a multiple immunofluorescent antigen staining methodology.  The Dylight dyes currently offered are DyLight 488 (green), DyLight 549 (orange), DyLight 594 (red), and DyLight 649 (far red).
