San Diego, California—May 18, 2010-- Many researchers are beginning to employ oligonucleotides linked to antibodies as a sort of „bar-code? for antibody immobilization amplification, and detection. While this technology is only just emerging in the field, the possibilities are numerous.
In order to facilitate assay development using this new class of antibody conjugates, Solulink has recently launched a new kit that allows researchers for the first time, the ability to easily make and purify their own antibody-oligonucleotide conjugates for these highly specific and sensitive assays. The Antibody-Oligonucleotide All-in-One Conjugation Kit by Solulink, is the first kit to prepare antibody-oligonucleotide conjugates without chromatography. The kit is designed to conjugate any user-supplied antibody (100 µg) with any amine-modified oligonucleotide (20 to 60-mer). “A myriad of applications have been demonstrated; DNA-directed microarrays, PCR- based antigen detection, hybridization-based signal amplification, etc. Solulink?s new antibody-oligonucleotide conjugation kit is designed to bring these next-generation technologies into general use” said Leo Mendoza, Director of Product Development.
