Molecular Probes (Invitrogen)
Description
Our streptavidin, Alexa Fluor 488 conjugate is a bright, photostable probe with excitation and emission characteristics similar to those of fluorescein. Streptavidin is a nonglycosylated biotin-binding protein that is isolated from bacteria and has a near-neutral isoelectric point. It is widely used to detect biotinylated probes, because it reportedly exhibits less nonspecific binding than does the glycosylated, biotin-binding protein, avidin.
