Lightning-Link® AMCA Antibody Labeling Kit

Lightning-Link Rapid is an innovative technology that enables direct labeling of proteins, peptides or other biomolecules for use in R&D applications, drug discovery and the development of diagnostic kits (See protocol for further information).

The easy-to-use, one step procedure allows researchers to covalently label biomolecules with only 30 seconds hands-on time; furthermore conjugates are ready to use in less than twenty minutes.

The researcher simply pipettes the biomolecule into a vial of lyophilized mixture containing the label of interest and incubates (for more details please watch the video below).

Unlike standard AMCA labeling procedures, where a large molar excess of AMCA is employed, the Lightning-Link AMCA kit combines a low molar ratio of AMCA:antibody and high labeling efficiency to eliminate the need for purification steps.

AMCA (aminomethylcoumarin acetate) is a blue fluorescent dye commonly used in fluorescence microscopy, arrays and in-situ hybridisation. It has an excitation wavelength of 352nm and a maximal emission of 452nm.
