Donkey anti-Rat IgG (H+L) Secondary Antibody, TRITC, Invitrogen™

Description

The sensitivity of each lot of antibody is confirmed using ELISA. The specificity of each lot of antibody is confirmed by immunoelectrophoresis (IEP). Rehydrate with 1.1 mL of deionized water and let stand 30 minutes at room temperature to dissolve. (Product has been overfilled to ensure complete recovery.) Centrifuge to remove any particulates. Prepare fresh working dilution daily. 1 year from date of receipt. Prepare working dilution prior to use and then discard. Based on Immunoelectrophoresis, no reactivity is observed to: non-immunoglobulin rat serum proteins.

Anti-Rat secondary antibodies are affinity-purified antibodies with well-characterized specificity for rat immunoglobulins and are useful in the detection, sorting or purification of its specified target. Secondary antibodies offer increased versatility enabling users to use many detection systems (e.g. HRP, AP, fluorescence). They can also provide greater sensitivity through signal amplification as multiple secondary antibodies can bind to a single primary antibody. Most commonly, secondary antibodies are generated by immunizing the host animal with a pooled population of immunoglobulins from the target species and can be further purified and modified (i.e. immunoaffinity chromatography, antibody fragmentation, label conjugation, etc.) to generate highly specific reagents.
