Invitrogen™ Streptavidin, Pacific Blue™ conjugate
Description
Invitrogen™'s streptavidin, Pacific Blue™ conjugate is a bright, blue-fluorescent probe with excitation/emission ∼410/455 nm. Streptavidin is a nonglycosylated biotin-binding protein that is isolated from bacteria and has a near-neutral isoelectric point. It is widely used to detect biotinylated probes, because it reportedly exhibits less nonspecific binding than does the glycosylated, biotin-binding protein, 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.
