Primary conjugated antibodies can be used for direct detection in staining applications, and are perfect for multiplexing. Fluorophore conjugation to a primary antibody eliminates the need for a secondary antibody by directly coupling the primary antibody to the fluorophore. Our directly labeled primary antibodies do two jobs: They bind to your protein of interest and are labeled with a dye for detection. This results in a simpler assay with fewer steps.
Our full lineup of NeuroMab and Antibodies Inc. antibodies is offered with the option of direct conjugation to one of four different fluorophores: FL490 | FL550 | FL594 | FL650.
Directly-conjugated primaries work well in immunocytochemistry (ICC), immunohistochemistry (IHC), and immunofluorescence (IF).
