Mix-n-Stain™ Maxi Antibody Labeling Kits, 1 mg Labeling
The simplicity and convenience of Mix-n-Stain™ labeling, for conjugation of 1 mg IgG with our CF® Dyes or other dyes.

Mouse anti-transferrin receptor antibody from (endosome and plasma membrane marker) was labeled using Lightning-Link® Rapid DyLight® Conjugation Kits from Novus Biologicals (left) or Mix-n-Stain™ CF® Dye Antibody Labeling Kits (right) according to manufacturers’ instructions. The CF® dye conjugates show higher signal and more specific staining compared the DyLight®conjugates when imaged using the same settings, due to the superior brightness of CF® dyes. The insets show the same field of view imaged with a higher gain setting.
Monoclonal mouse anti-tubulin clone DM1A in ascites or purified in PBS with 1% BSA was labeled with CF®488A Mix-n-Stain using the modified protocol for total protein labeling. The Mix-n-Stain antibodies performed comparably in immunofluorescence staining of HeLa cells as unlabeled antibody (in ascites) detected with secondary antibody.
Comparison of Mix-n-Stain™ CF®647 labeling of anti-TfR antibody (endosome and cell surface marker) in HeLa cells without added protein compared to 1% BSA or 1% gelatin (10-fold excess) using the modified protocol for labeling in the presence of stabilizer protein. Labeling using the modified protocol gives comparable results as the standard protocol, with bright signal and minimal increase in non-specific background.
Mix-n-Stain™ labeling can be performed on unpurified antibodies in ascites fluid. Top: HeLa cells stained with anti-tubulin antibody in ascited, detected with CF®488A secondary antibody (left) or directly labeled using CF®488A Mix-n-Stain™ (right). Bottom: rat optic nerve cryosections stained with anti-GFAP (glial marker) detected with CF®568 secondary antibody or directly labeled with Mix-n-Stain™ CF®568. antibodies in Mix-n-Stain™ labeled ascites show comparable specificity to unlabeled antibodies detected using secondary antibody.

Unrivaled Convenience
Mix-n-Stain™ Maxi Antibody Labeling Kits allow you to rapidly label 1 mg of IgG with one of our next-generation CF® Dyes or other label. Simply mix your antibody with the reaction buffer and optimally formulated dye provided, followed by a 30 minute incubation and addition of the provided stop buffer. Any remaining free dye or other label is no longer reactive at the end of the labeling, so the conjugate is ready for staining without further purification. Note the labeling protocol and buffer requirements for the Maxi kits differ from our original micro-scale Mix-n-Stain™ kits, see the Reaction Compatibility Chart below.
After the reaction, the antibody will be labeled with an average of 4-6 dye molecules per antibody molecule. Mix-n-Stain™ labeling is covalent, so labeled antibodies can be used for multiplex staining without transfer of dyes/labels between antibodies.
Superior CF® Dyes
These kits feature a choice 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. Learn more about CF® Dyes. We also offer kits for labeling with Cyanine 555, Cyanine 647, or fluorescein/FITC. See Ordering Information below.
Choose the Right Kit for Your Application
These kits are optimized for a single labeling reaction with 1 mg of IgG. Mix-n-Stain™ kits are not designed to be used for multiple labeling reactions. For smaller-scale conjugation, see our original Mix‑n‑Stain™ CF® Dye Antibody Labeling Kits; original Mix-n-Stain™ kits also have greater tolerance for antibody buffer additives, and provide special protocols for labeling antibodies in buffer with BSA or in ascites fluid. The kits are not recommended for labeling IgM antibodies, which may denature under the reaction conditions.
Mix-n-Stain™ kits can be used to label other proteins, however, the degree of labeling (DOL, or number of dye molecules per antibody) may not be optimal, and the kits are not designed to allow for DOL measurement after labeling. For performing reactions to optimize DOL for your antibody or application, we recommend using our CF® Dye SE Protein Labeling Kits. The kits include everything you need to perform controlled conjugation reactions and post-labeling purification, as well as detailed instructions and correction factors for determining DOL for CF® Dyes.
