InnovaCoat® GOLD 40nm Mini Antibody Labeling Kit

InnovaCoat GOLD 40nm Mini Antibody Labeling Kit [230-0005]

Lateral Flow Assay: InnovaCoat GOLD 40nm Mini Antibody Labeling Kit [230-0005] - A comparison between the signal intensity, measured on a commercially available lateral flow strip reader, for anti-IgA antibodies conjugated to 40nm gold particles by a traditional passive method against those conjugated covalently using InnovaCoat® technology. All components of this competitive lateral flow assay are identical with the exception of the method used to conjugate the antibodies to gold colloid. External data source.

FAQs for InnovaCoat (R) GOLD 40nm Mini Kit (230-0005). (Showing 1 - 7 of 7 FAQs).

1. Can antibodies from different species be used?
   • Yes, the InnovaCoat® system has been tested with antibodies from a variety of species including mouse, rabbit, goat and sheep.
2. Can antibody fragments be conjugated?
   • Yes. One of the advantages of the protective coat is that it is less likely than a bare metal surface to cause denaturation and loss of affinity of the antibody fragments.
3. Does the antibody bind to the metal surface?
   • No. The protective surface coat completely shields the metal surface and prevents direct metal-antibody interactions. For this reason, you cannot use InnovaCoat® GOLD for passive conjugation of antibodies.
4. Is the kit suitable for conjugating analytes and other small molecules?
   • Yes, but please contact Innova technical services. Depending on the functional groups on your analyte you may need a different type of surface or different chemistry for optimal results.
5. What can I do if my antibody preparation contains interfering substances
   • The simplest procedure is to dialyse the antibody against a suitable buffer. Relatively weak buffers (e.g. 20mM) are preferred so that the pH conditions of the covalent reaction are not significantly altered upon addition of the antibody. See also the comments in Section 3 of the protocol. If dialysis is not practical you can use other popular methods of buffer exchange if required e.g. desalting columns.
6. What if I need bulk material?
   • The kit that you have purchased is a convenience product for rapid production of small quantities of conjugate for screening purposes. Bulk quantities of InnovaCoat® GOLD can be provided in a variety of formats. Please enquire.
7. What type of linkage to gold is formed?
   • The antibody becomes covalently and irreversibly attached via lysine residues to the InnovaCoat® surface.
