FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate) is a commonly used fluorescent label for proteins, as it contains the groups required for conjugating to amino, sulfhydryl, imidazoyl, tyrosyl or carbonyl groups of proteins. FITC has a molecular weight of 389, and excitation and emission wavelengths of 494nm and 520nm, respectively, therefore emitting green visible light.
This kit utilizes Tube-O-Reactor™, which allows for the reactions to be performed in a single tube, with no loss of essential reagents and minimum hands-on time and effort.
The FITC labeling reagent is also available in our single use OneQuant™ format.
