Protein G Fluorescent Nanobeads
Protein G Fluorescent Nanobeads are highly specialized, versatile tools designed for the efficient capture and detection of immunoglobulins (IgG) from a wide range of species. These nanobeads are conjugated with Protein G, a bacterial cell wall protein that has a high affinity for the Fc region of IgG antibodies. Featuring a unique porous surface and internally covalently attached fluorescent dyes, these nanobeads offer exceptional sensitivity and reliability for use in immunoassays, cell sorting, and protein interaction studies.
Key Features
- High Affinity Protein G: The nanobeads are conjugated with Protein G, which specifically binds to the Fc region of IgG antibodies across multiple species. This high-affinity interaction ensures robust and selective capture of antibodies, making these beads ideal for sensitive assays.
- Porous Surface Design: The nanobeads feature a porous surface that enhances their binding capacity and interaction with target molecules, ensuring efficient capture and detection of IgG antibodies.
- Covalently Attached Dyes: The fluorescent dyes (FITC for green fluorescence and Cy5 for red fluorescence) are covalently bonded inside the nanobeads, ensuring long-term stability and resistance to photobleaching. This design protects the dye, reducing the risk of signal loss over time and enhancing the reliability of your results.
- Versatile Fluorescence: Available in FITC and Cy5, the beads offer flexibility in experimental design, allowing for multiplexing and the use of different fluorescence channels for diverse applications.
Applications
- Immunoprecipitation: Capture and isolate specific IgG antibodies or antibody-bound complexes from complex biological samples with high efficiency and low background.
- Flow Cytometry: Analyze and sort cells or particles based on IgG antibody binding, utilizing the bright and stable fluorescence from FITC or Cy5 for clear and precise detection.
- Fluorescence Microscopy: Achieve detailed visualization of IgG antibodies in cells or tissues, with the porous surface and internal dye attachment ensuring bright, stable, and consistent fluorescence.
- Protein Interaction Studies: Investigate protein-protein interactions by capturing IgG antibodies bound to their targets, using the strong fluorescent signals for easy detection and quantification.
