R-PE-Streptavidin (1:1) Conjugate

R-Phycoerythrin (PE) is an extremely bright red-orange fluorescent dye isolated from red algae. R-PE-Streptavidin conjugates are commonly used for detecting biotinylated antibodies and other biotinylated molecules in fluorescence-based assays, such as flow cytometry, microarray assays, and ELISAs. R-PE conjugates often provide 5 to 10 times greater sensitivity in these applications compared to fluorescein-labeled conjugates. The quality of the conjugate and linker significantly affects background levels and assay sensitivity.

Our R-PE-Streptavidin conjugate is designed with a long, flexible linker composed of PEG and ethylene-type segments (29-atom length) to preserve streptavidin’s biotin-binding activity. Each lot of conjugate consists primarily of single-labeled R-PE-Streptavidin (1:1) conjugates, purified by size-exclusion chromatography.

Key Features
• Single-labeled conjugates, purified by size-exclusion chromatography for high purity and performance.
