Cy7 n hydroxysuccinimide nhs ester

Manufactured by Lumiprobe
Sourced in United States

Cy7 N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester is a fluorescent dye molecule commonly used in bioconjugation reactions. It is a compact and water-soluble ester that can form covalent bonds with primary amine groups, allowing it to be attached to various biomolecules such as proteins, peptides, or nucleic acids.

Cy7 Conjugation of Antibodies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Conjugation of Cy7 dye with COC183B2 or a mouse isotype IgG antibody was performed according to the manufacturers’ instructions. Briefly, 1 mg of Cy7 N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester (Lumiprobe, Hunt Valley, MD, USA) was dissolved in 147 μL of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and added to an antibody solution to keep the final concentration of DMSO below 5%. Antibodies (1 mg, 2.8 μmol/L) were incubated with Cy7 NHS ester (56 μmol/L) (mole ratio=1:20) in boric acid/NaOH (pH: 8.3−8.5) at 4 °C protected from light overnight. The eluted solution contained conjugated products, and excess unbound dye was removed using a Zeba Spin Desalting Column, 0.5 mL, 7K MWCO (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA). The protein concentrations of Cy7-conjugated samples were determined by measuring the absorption at 280 nm with a UV-Vis system (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The Cy7 dye concentration was measured as the absorption at 750 nm with the UV-Vis system to determine the number of fluorophore molecules conjugated to each antibody molecule.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
