Streptavidin-R-PE

For sensitive detection of biotinylated proteins

Detection: Biotinylated biomolecules*
Form: Stabilized stock solution
Working solution: Dependent on application

For use in conjunction with the Penta¡¤His Biotin Conjugate, QIAGEN offers streptavidin conjugated to the intensely fluorescing algal pigment R-phycoerythrin (Streptavidin-R-PE). By utilizing the extremely high affinity of the streptavidin-biotin interaction and the spectroscopic properties of R-phycoerythrin, the sensitivity of immunoassays can be increased some five- to tenfold over the corresponding Alexa 532 Conjugate. The high quantum yield (0.82) and extinction coefficient (2 x 106) of R-PE make it one of the best fluorophores currently available for high-sensitivity detection. Streptavidin-R-PE is highly suited for detection of biotinylated biomolecules using the LabMAP bead-based assay system.

* Streptavidin conjugates may also detect the endogenous, biotinylated E. coli biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP) in crude cell lysates.
