Improved Brightness With New IRDye® 680RD Secondary Antibodies

26 Jan 2012

Product news

LI-COR® Biosciences introduces IRDye® 680RD secondary antibodies as the replacement for its current line of IRDye 680 secondary antibodies. The new IRDye 680RD secondary antibodies are optimized for use with the Odyssey® family of imagers and can be used for multiplexing when used with IRDye 800CW secondary antibodies.

“IRDye 680RD secondary antibodies offer improved brightness and low background when compared to IRDye 680 secondary antibodies, giving our customers equal or better results with their research,” says Shawn Mischnick, LI-COR technical product specialist. “This addition to our reagent line continues to offer our customers industry-leading products.”

IRDye 680RD secondary antibodies are suitable for a variety of applications, including Western blots and In-Cell Western™ assays. These antibodies are also suitable for immunofluorescent microscopy and other fluorescent imaging applications when using instrumentation with appropriate excitation and detection capabilities.

IRDye 680RD Infrared Dyes

LICORbio

IRDye 680RD is the near-infrared fluorescent dye of choice for applications in the 700 nm wavelength, especially Western blots, cell-based assays such as the In-Cell Western assay, and small animal imaging experiments.

Infrared / IR SpectroscopyInfrared (IR) spectroscopy measures the interaction of infrared light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance & absorbance, facilitating the identification of analytes. Equipment used for quantitative analysis includes Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers, infrared cameras, FTIR gas analyzers, as well as attenuated total reflectance (ATR) accessories and pellet or film presses. Find the best IR spectroscopy products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Western BlottingWestern blotting equipment is used to transfer and identify specific proteins within a sample, reveal protein modifications, as well as give a semi-quantitative estimation of their concentration. Western blotting equipment includes all apparatus necessary to transfer proteins from gel to membrane and subsequent processing steps. Protein transfer can be performed by electroblotting with wet, semi-dry and dry transfer systems onto nitrocellulose and PVDF membranes. Blocking, washing and labeling of membranes follows, involving buffers, blocking reagents, blotting / incubation trays, labeling reagents, immunoblotting assays, antibodies and conjugates. Automated equipment for these steps is available to accelerate your lab workflow. Finally, detection and imaging of proteins can be conducted using gel documentation and imaging systems.

Explore a range of a gel imaging systems, densitometers, scanners, transilluminators or UV lamp + CCD cameras for your image analysis solutions. Colorimetric, fluorescent and/or radioisotopic samples can be visualized and documented for further analysis. See gel doc / Image analysis software for quantitative 1D and 2D analysis of your samples.
