UV-traceable reagent for controlled biotinylation of antibodies

10 Mar 2026

Discover a UV-traceable biotinylation reagent that enables controlled and non-destructive quantification of biotin incorporation into antibodies. Using Sulfo-ChromaLINK® Biotin, researchers can measure the biotin molar substitution ratio (MSR) directly through a simple UV spectrophotometric scan, eliminating the need for indirect or destructive assays such as HABA or fluorescent binding assays. This white paper demonstrates predictable biotin labeling efficiency and shows that increasing MSR improves ELISA detection sensitivity, highlighting the importance of controlled antibody biotinylation for immunoassay optimization.

AntibodiesAntibodies are used in techniques such as confocal and fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, ELISA, ELISPOT, immunohistochemistry, western blotting and immunopreciptation. Select specific antigen reactivity, high specific affinity, low non-specific binding, monoclonal or polyclonal, primary or secondary antibodies and associated conjugates such as an enzyme or dye for visualization.ImmunoassayImmunoassays are laboratory tests that utilize antibody-antigen interactions to detect specific substances. They are widely used in diagnostics for detecting diseases, drug testing, and environmental monitoring. These assays offer rapid, sensitive, and precise detection of biomarkers, making them invaluable in clinical and research labs.
