iFluor Secondary Reagents

iFluor® conjugated secondary antibodies are powerful tools to identify and visualize target proteins in many applications, including fluorescent cell imaging, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, western blotting, and ELISA. The exceptional brightness and photostability of our iFluor® dyes combined with the specificity of our cross-adsorbed goat secondary antibodies guarantee consistency and quality, ensuring bright staining of medium-to-low abundance targets with minimal noise. AAT Bioquest offers secondary antibodies conjugated to 28 unique iFluor® dyes covering the entire spectrum with minimal spectral overlap to accommodate multi-color analysis.

In addition to iFluor dyes, we also offer secondary antibodies conjugated to HRP and poly-HRP, biotin, phycobiliproteins and tandem dyes, Alexa Fluor^® equivalent XFD dyes, and traditional fluorophores (e.g., FITC, Texas Red^®, Cy5, etc.).

iFluor Secondary Antibody Product Guide

Parameter	Definition
Detection Strategy	Uses indirect detection strategies whereby the secondary antibody detects an unlabeled primary antibody bound to the target of interest.
Applications	Designed for use in various cell analysis and protein analysis applications, including cell imaging (e.g., IHC/ICC/IF), fluorescent ELISA, and fluorescent western blotting.
Product Attributes	Enhanced sensitivity - multiple iFluor® secondary antibodies can bind to a single primary antibody resulting in signal amplification and an increase in assay sensitivity. pH Insensitivity - iFluor® dyes emit bright fluorescence intensities over a wide range (pH 3 to 11). Excellent Water Solubility - eliminates the precipitation and aggregation of iFluor® secondary antibodies. Increased flexibility when designing multi-color fluorescent western blot panels.

iFluor® Secondary Antibodies - Superior Brightness and Photostability

---

Secondary antibodies labeled with iFluor® dyes exhibit superior brightness, higher signal-to-noise ratios, and improved photostability, outperforming spectrally similar secondary antibody conjugates such as fluorescein and most Alexa Fluor^® secondary antibody conjugates. The excellent photostability and pH insensitivity of our iFluor® secondary antibodies ensure fluorescence intensity remains high over a wide molar range and more extended periods of time Figure 1.
