ReadiLink™ Rapid iFluor® 594 Antibody Labeling Kit *Production Scale*

ReadiLink™ Rapid Antibody Labeling Kits, designed for production scale, provide a convenient and efficient method for labeling large volumes of antibodies with our superior iFluor® dyes, XFD dyes (equivalent to Alexa Fluor®), and various other labels. These kits utilize reactive fluorophores modified with succinimidyl ester (SE) functional groups, which selectively bind to primary amines on proteins, resulting in remarkably bright and photostable conjugates. Every kit contains all the necessary components for three distinct labeling reactions and features a user-friendly, pre-packed spin column for efficient dye removal, maximizing conjugate yield. Each vial of iFluor® 594 SE dye provided in the kit is precisely formulated to label 1 mg of purified protein or antibody. Before labeling, it is important to remove stabilizing proteins like BSA from the sample and refrain from using amine-rich buffers like Tris, which might disrupt the labeling process. iFluor® 594 SE is a bright, red-fluorescent dye with excitation and emission maxima of ~588 nm and ~604 nm, making it an excellent alternative to Texas Red and Alexa Fluor® 594 (Alexa Fluor® is the trademark of Invitrogen). With ReadiLink™ Rapid Antibody Labeling kits, researchers can directly label primary antibodies, eliminating the need for secondary antibodies and enhancing panel-building flexibility.

Example protocol

AT A GLANCE

Key Parameters for Optimal Results
  1. 1.0 mg Antibody (MW ~150 kDa)

  2. Antibody concentration: 2.0 mg/mL

  3. Antibody volume: 500 µL

SAMPLE EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOL

Important

Before opening the vials, warm all components and briefly centrifuge. Immediately prepare necessary solutions before starting conjugation. This protocol is a recommendation.

Antibody Labeling Reaction
  1. Warm up a vial of reactive dye (Component A) to room temperature.

    Note: Each vial of reactive dye contains an optimized amount of dye to label 1 mg of IgG (MW ~150 kDa) at 2 mg/mL in PBS, the kit can also be used to label other proteins (>10 kDa).

  2. Add 10 µL of DMSO (Component D) to the vial of reactive dye (Component A), mix well.

  3. Prepare a 500 µL antibody solution in PBS with a concentration of 2 mg/mL.

    Note: The protein should be dissolved in 1X phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.2 - 7.4. If the protein is dissolved in buffers containing primary amines, like Tris and/or glycine, it must be dialyzed against 1X PBS, pH 7.2 - 7.4, or use Amicon Ultra0.5, Ultracel-10 Membrane, 10 kDa (Cat No. UFC501008 from Millipore) to remove free amines or ammonium salts (such as ammonium sulfate and ammonium acetate) that are widely used for protein precipitation.

    Note: Impure antibodies or antibodies stabilized with bovine serum albumin (BSA) or gelatin will not be labeled well.

  4. Add 25 µL of Reaction Buffer (Component B) to the antibody solution.

  5. Transfer the reconstituted dye solution into the vial of antibody solution, and pipette several times to mix well.

  6. Rotate the reaction mixture for 1 hour at room temperature.

Purification with Desalting Column
  1. Twist off the bottom closure of the desalting column (Component D), and loosen the cap. Place the column in a collection tube.

  2. Centrifuge the column at 1,000 g for 2 minutes to remove the storage solution.

  3. Remove the cap and slowly add 1 mL of PBS to the column. Centrifuge at 1,000 g for 2 minutes and remove the buffer. Repeat this step 3 additional times, discarding the buffer from the collection tube each time.

  4. Place the column in a new collection tube, and gently apply the sample into the center of the compact resin bed.

  5. Centrifuge the column at 1,000 g for 2 minutes to collect the sample.

Determine the Antibody Concentration & Degree of Labeling (Optional)

The following formula can be used to calculate the antibody concentration:

(A280 - CF280 x Adye) / 1.4

The following formula can be used to calculate the degree of labeling:

DOL = (Adye / Ecdye) / (A280 - CF280 x Adye) / 210,000)

Where: 

  • 210,000 is the molar extinction coefficient (Ec) in cm-1M-1 of IgG at 280 nm.
  • CF280 is the correction factor for the effect of the fluorophore on absorbance at 280 nm.
  • Adye is the absorbance at maximum (λmax) for the respective dye.
