Product Information

anti-RFP VHH/ Nanobody conjugated to fluorophore for IF, of mCherry and other red fluorescent protein-fusion proteins

DescriptionThe RFP-Booster stabilizes, enhances, and reactivates the signal of RFP-fusion proteins such as mCherry, mRFP, etc.. Due to its small size, the RFP-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
