Antibody-Label Optimization (Micro-optimizer™)

Optimization of labeled antibodies at the microgram scale. Use our

proprietary technologies to enhance the performance of your labeled

antibodies. By creating an array of trial conjugates (5 formulations per

label) at low microgram scale (20µg per formulation) combined with

selection by you in the assay of interest, the best possible conjugate

can be obtained.

PerfectSCALE™

All conjugates produced using our micro-optimization™ technology

can be scaled over many orders of magnitude without the need for

re-development of the process. The inherent simplicity of Innova’s

technology means that exceptionally high yields are obtained, with

minimal batch-to-batch variation, ensuring consistent performance

with exceptionally high recovery.

Fast & FAb™ Antibody Labeling Service

Antibody labeling service within 48 hours. Using state of the art

labeling chemistry, we have the ability to label microgram to milligram

amounts of your antibody with a variety of popular labels within 48

hours. High quality labeled antibodies delivered in a timely and

e�cient manner.

Oli-Join™

Antibody-oligonucleotide conjugates are the next generation of tools

in biomarker detection, overcoming sensitivity and linear range issues

commonly encountered with standard antibody labels. Through our

Oli-Join™ service, we have the expertise to label an antibody directly

to an oligonucleotide of any given sequence. Furthermore, we have the

ability to create an oligo-antibody hybrid using a small amount of

antibody material – as little as 100ug.

Lightning-Link - Frequently Asked Questions

Antibody

Does the antibody have to be purified?

Yes – purified antibodies are perfect for Lightning-Link. Please note

common additives present in bu¡er formulations such as BSA (up to

1%) and gelatin (up to 0.5%) are tolerated - please see our website for

further technical information. Antibodies which are present in ascites

fluid, serum or hybridoma culture media need to be purified.

What is the ideal starting concentration of the antibody?

Antibody concentration should be in the range of 0.5-2.5mg/ml.

Is the Lightning-Link antibody labeling chemistry isotype or species

specific? No.

Methodology

Is the hands-on time really only 30 seconds?

Yes –  naturally you will need to familiarize yourself with the

instructions before using Lightning-Link products for the first time,

but after that your hands-on time should be no more than 30 seconds.

How scalable is the technology?

Scalability is one of the major advantages of Lightning-Link. Rather

than risk valuable antibody you can label a small quantity and be

confident that the bulk quantity made later will have essentially

identical properties.

Antibody Labeling Chemistry

What functional groups do I need on my antibody to use

Lightning-Link?

Lightning-Link requires amine groups on the molecule to be labeled.

Most proteins or peptides have lysine and/or alpha-amino groups. All

antibodies have multiple amine functions.

Can proteins other than antibodies be labeled?

Yes – while labeling of primary antibodies is a major application, the

only requirement is that the protein or molecule to be labeled has

amine functionality.

Is the label attached to my protein by a covalent bond?

Yes – conjugates formed with Lightning-Link are perfectly stable.

Will my antibody couple to itself or form high molecular weight

aggregates?

No – the antibody labeling chemistry is unidirectional and therefore

labeling will only occur between the antibody and the label.

Antibody Bu�ers

What bu�er additives can be used and what should be avoided?

Additives such as salts (e.g NaCl), sugars (e.g. sucrose) and

chelators (e.g. EDTA) have no e¡ect on the antibody labeling

reaction. The main additives to avoid are amino acids (e.g. glycine),

blockers (e.g. ethanolamine), tris bu¡er above 20mM and thiols

(DTT, mercaptoethanol).

Lightning–Link™

Lightning-Link kitsThe Lightning-Link kit allows you to label an antibody with minimal hands-on time - less than 30 seconds. Simply add your

antibody to a tube of Lightning-Link mix and the label becomes covalently attached to your antibody in a gentle controlled

process.

As Lightning-Link is a one-step antibody labeling procedure (i.e. is not interrupted by desalting or dialysis steps), your antibody

can be prepared with only microgram quantities of antibody, with recoveries approaching 100%. Furthermore, the technology is

easily scalable (µg to mg) ensuring quality and consistency. Thus Lightning-Link provides a simple antibody labeling method

which saves both time and money.

Over 40 available labels including enzymes, fluorescent protein/dyes, tandems, biotin and avidin
