Product Information
anti-GFP VHH/ Nanobody conjugated to a fluorescent dye for IF/ microscopy.
| Description | The GFP-Booster stabilizes, enhances, and reactivates the signal of GFP-fusion proteins. Due to its small size, the GFP-Booster enables higher image quality in epifluorescence, confocal, and super-resolution microscopy: • Considerably higher tissue penetration rates • Superior accessibility and labelling of epitopes in crowded cellular/organelle environments • Less than 2 nm epitope-label displacement minimizes linkage error • Monovalent VHHs do not cluster their epitopes • Validation: structure and function characterized • Consistent and reliable performance due to recombinant production |
| Applications | IF, IHC, ICC |
| Host | Alpaca |
| Specificity/Target | CFP, AcGFP, EGFP, GFP, GFP S65T, mClover, EGFP A206K, pHluorin, PA-GFP, sfGFP, TagGFP, TagGFP2, Citrine, Ecitrine, EYFP, Venus, YFP, Ypet For the complete list, please click here: Fluorescent protein specificity table Nano-Booster |

FH Andrea (Verified Customer) (09-19-2023) | Very good signal enhancement.
|
FH Rocco (Verified Customer) (03-11-2022) | The alpaca GFP booster was very useful to show cellular location of PAR2-mugfp in the mouse colon. It works well at the concentration of 1:400 in a PFA fixed and Sucrose cryoprotected 10um colonic section. A must buy!
