Thermo Scientific™ Fluoro-Max™ Fluorescent Carboxylate-Modified Particles

Description

Lower detection limits of fluorescent assays by limiting background interference from relatively short-lived matrix fluorescence with Thermo Scientific™ Fluoro-Max Fluorescent Carboxylate-Modified Particles. Made by dyeing Thermo Scientific™ OptiLink™ carboxylate-modified particles with europium chelate, particles have been specifically designed for membrane or automated fluorometric-based applications. With an extremely broad Stokes shift, Fluoro-Max europium chelate particles help prevent nonspecific fluorescence interference.

· Particles are internally dyed to ensure maximum color brilliance and color saturation, resulting in greater sensitivity, enhanced readability of the assay and elimination of problems associated with enzyme-based assays.
· Encapsulated dye prevents leaching in aqueous media and provides optimum surface immunoreactivity.
· Dyeing process causes little or no inhibition of adsorption or covalent couping of immunoglobulin G, resulting in superior binding of protein to the particles.
· Suitable for a variety of applications such as clinical diagnostics, immuno/histological studies and research.
