Innova Biosciences Launches Antibody Labeling Guide - Go Direct

Innova Biosciences (Cambridge UK) has launched a new antibody labeling guide to
provide greater awareness of how easy it is for scientists to label primary anti
bodies within their own laboratories.
Cambridge, UK, January 18, 2011 -- Innova Biosciences (Cambridge UK) has launche
d a new antibody labeling guide to provide greater awareness of how easy it is f
or scientists to label primary antibodies within their own laboratories. The fre
e publication discusses the differences between direct and indirect immuno-detec
tion, various approaches to antibody labeling, and buffer formulations and antib
ody concentration. Also discussed is Innova Bioscience's Lightning Link, a simpl
e and quick method for antibody labeling. The antibody labeling guide is also qu
ick and concise; consisting of 9 informative pages.

Direct labeling of antibodies greatly simplifies immunodetection techniques. Wit
hout the problems of crossover and/or non-specific binding from secondary reagen
ts it is far easier to obtain high quality results in techniques such as flow cy
tometry, ELISA, Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. A research group whic
h has benefited from use of the Lightning-Link range is headed by Graham Pockley
, the Professor of Immunobiology at the University of Sheffield, who commented:
â My research depends heavily on multi-color flow cytometry and it was becoming incre
asingly difficult to commercially source the appropriate labeled antibodies for
our studies. When I discovered the Lightning-Link technology I was really overwh
elmed about the simplicity of the kits. More importantly, they were perfectly su
ited to our needs, as their â no lossâ labeling strategy means that we can purchase smal
aliquots of unlabeled antibody / isotype controls and label these in house. The
ability to do this has transformed our work and I would highly recommend the ki
ts to anyone in the research community.â
About Innova Biosciences*
Innova is a pioneer in the field of antibody labeling (conjugation). Lightning-L
inkâ ¢ simplifies the development and production of conjugates for immunodiagnostic re
agents. Irrespective of scale, the hands-on time for setting up a labeling react
ion is less than 30 seconds. Recovery of antibody approaches 100%. Batch-to-batc
h variation is all but eliminated. Despite its simplicity, Lightning-Linkâ ¢ is a very
sophisticated conjugation system in which the antibody is directionally coupled
to the label in a controlled fashion at neutral pH, creating high quality stabl
e conjugates. All popular labels are available in a one-step kit format.
Innova Biosciences invites anyone with an interest in antibody labeling to downl
oad and use the new antibody labeling guide available now at â www.innovabiosciences

color flow cytometry can utilise the online tool at - www.chromocyte.com.
