Vector Laboratories provides a comprehensive range of antibodies designed for sensitive and specific protein detection in various applications, including immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence (IF), and western blotting.
These antibodies are available in different formats to accommodate diverse detection needs:
Amplification and Detection Antibodies
- Anti-Avidin / Streptavidin Amplification Reagents—These reagents enhance signal intensity in biotin-based detection systems by targeting avidin or streptavidin, allowing for increased sensitivity in assays such as IHC and ELISA.
Tag- and Label-Specific Antibodies
- Antibodies to Tags and Labels—Designed to detect commonly used epitope tags (e.g., His, HA, FLAG, Myc) or labels (e.g., biotin, FITC), these antibodies facilitate the identification and purification of tagged proteins in a variety of experimental applications.
Labeled and Conjugated Antibodies
- Biotinylated Antibodies—These antibodies are conjugated with biotin, enabling flexible detection and amplification strategies using avidin or streptavidin conjugates in chromogenic or fluorescent assays.
- Enzyme Conjugated Antibodies—Directly linked to enzymes such as horseradish peroxidase (HRP) or alkaline phosphatase (AP), these antibodies provide efficient and reliable detection in colorimetric and chemiluminescent assays.
- Fluorophore Conjugated Antibodies—These antibodies are labeled with fluorophores (e.g., FITC, TRITC, Cy3, Alexa Fluor® dyes) for direct fluorescence detection, minimizing the need for secondary antibodies in IF, flow cytometry, and microscopy applications.
Unlabeled Antibodies for Custom Detection
- Unconjugated Antibodies—Primary antibodies without any attached label, offering flexibility in detection by allowing researchers to pair them with a variety of secondary antibodies or amplification systems for optimized signal detection.
- Control Antibodies—Includes isotype controls, negative controls, and reference antibodies to ensure specificity, reliability, and reproducibility in experimental setups. These are essential for validating assay results and minimizing background signal.
Antibody products from Vector Laboratories provide researchers with high-quality tools for precise protein detection and visualization, supporting a range of life science applications.
