Company:

Thermo Scientific Pierce

Product Name:

Donkey anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Secondary Antibody, Alexa Fluor 555 conjugate from Thermo Scientific Pierce Antibodies

Catalog Number:

A-31572

Secondary antibodies from Thermo Fisher Scientific are great for doing immunofluorescence. We work with primary cells (airway epithelial cells) in our lab and can use several different donkey alexas with different fluorophore conjugations in a single staining without any issue. A dilution of 1:2000 for 30 - 60 minutes works great with most of them.
