Lightning-Link™ kits

The DIY Lightning-Link™ kit allows you to label an antibody with minimal hands-on time - less than 30 seconds. Simply add your antibody solution to a tube of Lightning-Link™ mix and the label becomes covalently attached to your antibody in a gentle controlled process. Lightning-Link is the easiest and quickest method available for antibody conjugation.

Go ‘direct’

Direct antibodies labelling greatly simplifies immunodetection techniques. Without the problems of crossover and/or non-specific binding from secondary reagents it is far easier to obtain high quality, pioneering results in techniques such as flow cytometry, ELISA, Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. A reduction in the number of incubation and wash steps also saves you time and money.

The antibody conjugate:

Atto488 is one of a new generation of fluorescent labels, which has been optimised for excitation with an argon laser. It has a strong absorption at 501nm, high fluorescence at 523nm (extinction coefficient 9.0 x104 cm-1M-1) and high quantum yield. Atto488 can be used as a substitute dye for Oregon Green 488, BODIPY FL, DY-505 and Alexa Flour 488.
