Information
Home Algae R-PE Labeling Kit is an SH-reactive labeling kit. Modified R-PE has maleimide groups that can conveniently conjugate with the SH groups of antibodies. The total conjugation time including incubation takes approximately 3 hours.
With a broad range of excitation wavelengths, R-PE can be easily excited by two laser sources (488 nm & 561 nm), applied to most fluorescence detection instruments i.e. Flow Cytometry, Immunofluorescence Microscopy (IF), Microarray Assay. Home Algae's R-PE absorbance maxima are at 496, 545, and 565 nm, its significant stokes shifts with a resolvable emission peak at 578 nm
Sample of Protocol

Benefits of R-PE
-
Ideal for multi-color fluorescent staining
-
Can be excited by two laser sources, experiments can be performed without equipment upgrades
-
Significant stokes shifts with resolvable emission spectra
-
-
Ensure result accuracy
-
Bright Index: Level 5 with high quantum yield
-
It should be noted that the relatively high molecular weight of R-PE may preclude its use in procedures requiring good penetration into cells and tissues. It is predominantly intended for surface labeling of cells for flow cytometry.
