The labeling of proteins and antibodies with fluorescent dyes can play a crucial
role in flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry and fluorescent in-situ hybridization
techniques. Incorporating its high performance HiLyte FluorT dyes in an a
ready-to-use kit, AnaSpec has introduce its new line of AnaTagT Protein Labeling
Kits as a convenient method for labeling proteins with AnaSpec dyes.

AnaTagT Protein Labeling Kits are designed for fast and convenient kit labeling of
primary and secondary antibodies. Containing all essential components for
conjugation reaction and purification of dye-protein conjugates, AnaSpec notes that
labeling time can be as short as 30 minutes. Available in two reaction sizes:
micro-scale (200 ug x 3 reactions or 100 ug x 5 reactions) and larger scale (5 mg x
3 reactions).

Utilizing both AnaSpec's proprietary HiLyte FluorT dyes as well as classic dyes,
AnaTagTM Protein Labeling span the spectrum from blue to far red and NIR.

The succinimidyl ester (SE) reactive form of the labeling dye reacts with the amine
group on the protein and forms stable carboxamide bonds which are identical to and
as stable as the natural peptide bond. These dye protein conjugates are very stable
and are suitable for immunofluorescent staining, fluorescence in situ hybridization,
flow cytometry and other biological applications.

AnaSpec, Inc. is a leading provider of integrated proteomics solutions to
pharmaceutical, biotech, and academic research institutions throughout the world.
With a vision for innovation through synergy, AnaSpec focuses on three core
technologies: peptides, detection reagents (dyes, assay kits, & antibodies), and
