Microscale Protein Labeling Kits provide a convenient means for attaching a fluorescent label to a small amount of antibody or protein (20–100 μg).

Microscale Protein Labeling Kits provide a convenient means for attaching a fluorescent label to a small amount of antibody or protein (20–100 μg). The kits are available in four Alexa Fluor™ colors (or biotin) and supply everything needed for three labeling and separation reactions.

Important Features of Microscale Protein Labeling Kits:

  • Labeled proteins typically ready to use typically in 2 hours (∼30 minutes hands-on time)
  • Optimized for 20–100μg of protein with molecular weights between 12 and 150 kDa
  • Purified using convenient spin filters with yields between 60 and 90%
  • Stabilizing proteins must be removed from the sample before labeling

Stable Reaction Chemistry and Superior Alexa Fluor™ Dyes

In the Microscale Protein Labeling Kits, the reactive dye contains a succinimidyl (NHS) ester moiety that reacts with primary amines of proteins to form stable dye-protein conjugates. Compared to traditional dyes, Alexa Fluor™ dyes are brighter, more photostable, and more pH resistant between pH 4 and 10. And generally when using Alexa Fluor™ dyes, higher degrees of labeling can be achieved without intramolecular quenching. For details see Alexa Fluor™ Dyes Spanning the Visible and Infrared Spectrum—Section 1.3.

Can I use 50 μg of protein with Fluorescent Protein Labeling Kits?

No. We recommend using 1 mg of protein with Fluorescent Protein Labeling Kits. For smaller protein sample sizes, we recommend using Microscale Protein Labeling kits which are optimized for 20-100 µg of protein.

What formulation of antibody should I use for conjugation for small animal in vivo imaging?

To allow for good reaction kinetics, antibodies should be in PBS buffer at a concentration of 0.5-3.0 mg/ml. The antibody must be free of preservatives (azide etc.), amine containing buffers and carrier proteins such as BSA.

What is degree of labeling (DOL)?

Degree of labeling (DOL) describes the number of fluorophores per antibody. For in vivo labeling experiments, the DOL is restricted to a narrow range because it has significant consequences for the biodistribution and clearance of the probe. For example, for in vivo imaging, we have determined that the DOL range for the far-red Alexa Fluor dyes is 1.5 to 3 molecules per antibody for optimal optical in vivo imaging.
