The streptavidin-Cy5 solution should be stored undiluted at 4°C and protected from exposure to light. Do not freeze.
Application:
FC, ICFC
Recommended Usage:
Each lot of this Streptavidin-Cy5 is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For immunofluorescent staining, the recommended use of this reagent is ≤ 0.5 µg per 106 cells in 100 µl staining volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
Application Notes:
Streptavidin-Cy5 is useful as a second step reagent for indirect immunofluorescent staining, when used in conjunction with biotinylated primary antibodies.
