Biotin Antibody

SKU: orb2645228

Description

It recognizes both the free and protein-conjugated (either soluble or cell bound) form of biotin. This mAb is highly specific to biotin and shows no cross-reaction with other structurally related compounds. It has a very high affinity for biotin and is excellent for use in various amplification techniques. In some applications, localization of biotinylated probes with avidin produces unacceptably high background staining. Anti-biotin antibody may be substituted to decrease this noise.

Images & Validation

• Tested Applications: FACS, IF, IHC-P, WB
• Dilution Range: Flow cytometry: 1-2ug/10^6 cells,Immunofluorescence: 1-2ug/ml,Western blot: 1-2ug/ml,Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 1-2ug/ml for 30 min at RT
• Application Notes:
  The optimal dilution of the anti-Biotin antibody for each application should be determined by the researcher.1. No special pretreatment is required for the immunohistochemical staining of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues.
