Cambridge, UK, March 03 2014: Abcam plc, a global leader in the supply of innovative protein research tools, announced today it has added Alexa Fluor® 680/790 secondary antibodies for fluorescent western blotting to its existing Alexa Fluor conjugated antibody range.

Produced and extensively validated in Abcam laboratories, the F:P ratios of  Alexa Fluor 680/790 have been optimised to ensure high quality and performance. The expanding range offers a broad portfolio of labelled secondary antibodies with guaranteed bright staining and low background to meet the different needs of researchers undertaking multi-colour analysis.

Brian Carpenter, Product Manager, Secondary Antibodies, Abcam, commented: “The popularity of fluorescent western blotting is growing and presents many advantages over the traditional method.
