Storage and Rehydration: Store freeze-dried solid at 2-8°C. Rehydrate with the indicated volume of dH2O (see product specification sheet) and centrifuge if not clear. Prepare working dilution on day of use. Product is stable for about 6 weeks at 2-8°C as an undiluted liquid.Extended Storage after Rehydration: Aliquot and freeze at -70°C or below. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Alternatively, add an equal volume of glycerol (ACS grade or better) for a final concentration of 50%, and store at -20°C as a liquid. Expiration date: one year from date of rehydration. The expiration date may be extended if test results are acceptable for the intended use.

Cyanine Cy™3

Cy3 is brighter, more photostable, and gives less background than other orange-red fluorescing dye conjugates. Cy3 conjugates can be excited maximally at 550 nm, with peak emission at 570 nm. For fluorescence microscopy, Cy3 can be visualized with traditional tetramethyl rhodamine (TRITC) filter sets, since the excitation and emission spectra are nearly identical to those of TRITC. We recommend Cy3 as a brighter alternative to TRITC. Cy3 can be excited to about 50% of maximum with an argon laser (514 nm or 528 nm lines), or to about 75% of maximum with a helium/neon laser (543 nm line) or mercury lamp (546 nm line). Cy3 has been used with fluorescein for double labeling; however, the use of a narrow band-pass emission filter for fluorescein is recommended to minimize Cy3 fluorescence in the FITC filter set. Cy3 can also be paired with Alexa Fluor® 647 for multiple labeling when using a confocal microscope. However, a better choice for multiple labeling is Rhodamine Red-X because its fluorescence is midway between a green fluorescing dye (like Alexa Fluor® 488) and a far-red-fluorescing dye like Alexa Fluor® 647.

Pax2 expression in astrocytes of aged rat retina

Tissue specimen of 19 month old (aged) Wistar rat retina illustrates Pax2 expression in retinal astrocytes in the central retina. Triple label immunohistochemistry was executed on retinal wholemount preparations. Pax2 stained for surrounding nuclei of astrocytes (red, biotinylated anti-rabbit Ig, Cy3-conjugated streptavidin - Jackson ImmunoResearch 016-160-084), DAPI stain for cell nuclei (blue), and GFAP stained for astrocytes (green, Alexa 488-conjugated anti-mouse IgG1).

Jackson总部位于美国宾夕法尼的兰卡斯特，距离费城大概有40英里。Jackson在1982年由科学家展开了包括在细胞生物学，蛋白质化学，微生物学，免疫学及产品开发实验研究。我们的目标是为世界各地的研究者能最大选择的提供最高质量的科学试剂以及最棒的技术支持和售后服务。蚂蚁淘向您提醒的是，Jackson产品仅用于研究，不用于诊断或治疗用途。作为美国著名的各种二抗生产公司之一，Jackson在全世界各国设有几十家代理。由于其产品效价高、种类全、价格低廉，因而成为全球各大药厂、试剂盒生产厂、大型实验室采购此类试剂的首选。其产品主要包括：各种纯化的二抗、标记的二抗（AMCA、Cy2、FITC、Cy3、TRITC、RRX、TR、Cy5、长臂生物素、辣根酶和碱磷酶标记）、金标试剂等。

Jackson二抗产品选购简介

为便于客户选购Jackson公司的各种二抗，特将选购时的注意事项摘译如下：

JacksonImmunoResearch的抗体产品线完全，有全球最大的二抗产品库，能提供多种应用类型和需要的二抗产品，其二抗产品本身也具有极高的产品质量和稳定性。以上述产品为例，其HRP酶标山羊抗小鼠二抗，WB实验的应用稀释比率为1:10000-1:200000，也就是说，购买的2ml二抗，实际应用时相当于20L-400L的最终使用液。另外，一次购买大包装，避免了不同批次之前的差异，降低了实验条件本身的误差。作为多家著名品牌的代理商，蚂蚁淘根据国内科研的现实需求，为客户选择最具性价比的二抗及血清产品免疫学解决方案。如果您对Jackson的产品感兴趣，请致电027-84454412到蚂蚁淘科技有限公司问询您所感兴趣的产品类型。
