ReadiUse(TM) Preactivated PE

Ex: 565 nm. Em: 575 nm. Soluble in: Water. R-Phycoerythrin (PE) is isolated from red algae. Its primary absorption peak is at 565 nm with secondary peaks at 496 and 545 nm. AAT Bioquest offers this preactivated PE to facilitate the PE conjugations to antibodies and other proteins such as streptavidin and other secondary reagents. Our preactivated PE is ready to conjugate, giving much higher yield than the conventionally tedious SMCC-based conjugation chemistry. In addition, our preactivated PE is conjugated to a protein via its amino group that is abundant in proteins while SMCC chemistry targets the thiol group that has to be regenerated by the reduction of antibodies.
