Advantages of Gold Conjugates
- Sensitive technique (100pg or less in dot blotting when used together with our silver enhancement kit)
- This small gold nanoparticle conjugate is ideal for increasing sensitivity in immunohistochemistry protocols when used together with our silver enhancement kit for microscopy.
- Provides a permanent label
Storage/Stability
- Store undiluted in storage buffer at 2-8 degree Celsius. Stable for 4 months if stored as specified.
- Storage of conjugate at working dilution may result in performance loss.
