Product Information

anti-vimentin VHH/ Nanobody conjugated to the fluorophore ATTO488 for IF, & microscopy

DescriptionVimentin-Label specifically binds to the Vimentin intermediate filament protein. Due to its small size, the Vimentin-Labelenables higher image quality in epifluorescence, confocal, and super-resolution microscopy:

• Specific probe for direct immunostaining of Vimentin filaments

• Higher image resolution

• Less than 4 nm epitope-label displacement minimizes linkage error

• Superior accessibility and labeling of epitopes in crowded cellular/organelle environments

• Improved target binding due to an avidity effect from the bivalent form of Vimentin-Label

ApplicationsMonoclonal
