† (R-)PE has three maxima, and all can be used. The optimal will depend on the application.
* This Laser Line is some distance from the Maximal Absorbance, so performance will be compromised if this dye is used with the suggested Laser Line.
** These kits require a 3 hour incubation time (instead of 15 minutes).
Lightning-Link®
is an innovative technology that enables direct labeling of antibodies, proteins, peptides or other
biomolecules with only 30 seconds hands-on time.
