Mix-n-Stain™ CF® Dye Antibody Labeling Kits
Label your antibody with one of our superior CF ® Dyes in 15 minutes without a purification step. Labeling tolerates many common buffer components including BSA and ascites.
Mix-n-Stain™ CF® Dye Antibody Labeling Kits allow you to label ≤5 ug up to 100 ug of your antibody in just 15 minutes, with minimal hands-on time and no purification.

Kit components
- Ultrafiltration spin vial (for antibody concentration or buffer exchange, if needed)
- 10X Mix-n-Stain™ Reaction Buffer
- Lyophilized Reactive CF® Dye
- Mix-n-Stain™ Storage Buffer
Unrivaled Convenience
Mix-n-Stain™ labeling tolerates common antibody buffer formulations. An ultrafiltration centrifuge vial is provided to quickly remove interfering substances like glycerol, or to concentrate your antibody. With a slight modification in protocol, antibodies can be labeled in the presence of BSA, gelatin, or ascites fluid. Because CF® Dyes are highly water soluble, the presence of other proteins like BSA or gelatin in the labeling reaction has minimal effect on background fluorescence, because any labeled non-antibody proteins readily wash away during immunofluorescence staining.
Superior CF® Dyes
These kits feature a choice of 32 of Biotium’s next-generation CF® Dyes, which were designed for advantages in brightness and photostability compared to Alexa Fluor®, DyLight®, and other fluorescent dyes.
Other Labeling Kits
Biotium also offers Mix-n-Stain™ Maxi Antibody Labeling Kits for labeling 1 mg of antibody with CF® Dyes, and Mix-n-Stain™ Nanobody Labeling Kits. Mix-n-Stain™ kits also are available for labeling antibodies with enzymes (HRP, AP, and GOx), fluorescent proteins (PE, APC, PerCP, and tandem dyes), biotin, or DIG.
