How-to videoTutorial: Labeling a purified antibody 
Educational video on how to label your next antibody for imaging or fluorescence. Walk through the tutorial as Molecular Probes scientists demonstrate the protocol—including all the tips and tricks you'll want to know about for your next antibody labeling experiment. The video features Judie showing Curtis, a chemistry graduate student, how to label his monoclonal antibodies while saving time and maximizing yield.

How-to videoHow to site specifically label your antibody using SiteClick technology 
This video explains how to easily and site specifically label an antibody using an enzymatic and Click chemistry approach. This method can be applied to any intact IgG antibody and requires no antibody engineering or complex methodology. Unlike classic antibody conjugation techniques this breakthrough SiteClick technology allows for antibody conjugation with complete confidence that the label will not directly interfere with the antibody binding domain.

WebinarA practical approach to antibody labeling 
The growing number of fluorophores available makes labeling your own antibodies a tempting proposition. But with many antibody labeling solutions available, selecting the best option can be a daunting task. In this webinar we will:
  • Provide an overview of our antibody labeling kits
  • Offer guidance on which methods are ideal for specific applications and experiments
  • Provide tips and tricks to optimize your labeling protocol

WebinarLearn to choose the right fluorophore when designing experiments 
The choice of fluorophore is one of the first important decisions to make in developing an experiment. Fluorophores are compounds that emit light at a specific wavelength when they have been excited at another, lower wavelength. In this webinar we will explore:
  • How to choose the best organic dye for an assay
  • Quantum dots and how they compare to other dyes
  • When to use a phycobiliprotein like R-PE or APC
  • When to use fluorescent proteins like GFP
  • How to choose a suitable dye to match your instrument
In addition, we will review the basic characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses of the various fluorophores to help you choose and develop the best assay for your needs.
