Why Choose FITC Maleimide for Fluorescence Labeling?
There are several reasons why FITC Maleimide is preferred for certain histological applications:
Specificity: FITC Maleimide specifically reacts with thiol groups, minimizing non-specific binding. Stability: The covalent bond formed between FITC Maleimide and thiol groups is highly stable, ensuring long-term fluorescence. Brightness: FITC is known for its high fluorescence intensity, which provides clear and bright images. Compatibility: FITC Maleimide is compatible with various fixation and embedding techniques used in histology.
