Invitrogen™ Streptavidin, Alexa Fluor™ 430 conjugate
Description
Includes
Three DNA samples: one each from the victim, suspect and crime scene; voucher redeemable by mail for gel cassettes
Invitrogen™'s Alexa Fluor 430 streptavidin conjugate is a bright, green-fluorescent probe (absorption/emission maxima ∼434/539 nm). Streptavidin, a nonglycosylated biotin-binding protein with a near-neutral isoelectric point, reportedly exhibits less nonspecific binding than avidin.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
In the lyophilized powder form, the fluorescent streptavidin labeled conjugate is stable for six months when stored at -20 degrees C, desiccated, and protected from light. The reconstituted solution is stable for approximately six months when stored at 4 degrees C, protected from light, with the addition of sodium azide to a final concentration of 5 mM or thimerosal to 0.2 mM. For longer storage, we recommend dividing the solution into aliquots and freezing at -20 degrees C, protected from light. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing of the solution.
The fluorescent streptavidin labeled conjugate solution can be made by dissolving the powder in 0.5-1.0 mL of PBS or other suitable buffer.
