LNK192B enables the rapid conjugation of a pre-prepared lyophilized mixture containing Biotin label to an antibody or protein. Activation of proprietary reagents within the antibody-label solution results in the coupling of the antibody to Biotin, which has an extended spacer.
The LYNX Rapid Conjugation kit®can be used to label small quantities of antibody/protein at near neutral pH, allowing a high conjugation efficiency with 100% antibody recovery.
*This kit has been optimized to be used in assays in which the conjugate is captured by a Streptavidin labelled plate..

The following buffer solutions are recommended:for preparing the antibody:
10-50mM amine-free buffer (e.g HEPES, MES, MOPS and phosphate) pH range 6.5-8.5, although moderate concentrations of Tris buffer (<20mM) may be tolerated.
Do not use buffers containing nucleophilic components e.g primary amines and thiols since they may react with LYNX chemicals. Azide (0.02-0.1%), EDTA and common non-buffering salts and sugars have little or no effect on conjugation efficiency.
It is recommended that up to 2mg antibody be used in each labelling reaction. For optimal results the antibody volume should be 400-1000ul, at a concentration range equal to or greater than 1mg/ml.

Instructions For Use
1. To the antibody sample add 1ul of the Modifier reagent for every 10ul of antibody and mix gently.
2. Pipette the mixed antibody-modifier sample directly onto the LYNX lyophilized mix and gently pipette up and down twice to resuspend.
3. Replace cap onto vial and incubate at room temperature (20-25oC) for 3 hours, or overnight if preferred.
4. After incubation, add 1ul of Quencher reagent for every 10ul of antibody used. Leave to stand for 30 minutes before use.
