A Revolution in Conjugation Technology

The Lightning-Link™ conjugation system represents a quantum leap forward in conjugation technology. It allows you to make antibody conjugates with minimal hands-on time - less than 30 seconds. Lightning-Link™ simplifies immunoassay techniques, such as western blotting, ELISA and immunohistochemistry, by eliminating secondary reagents and cutting the number of incubation and wash steps.

Despite its simplicity, Lightning-Link™ is a very sophisticated conjugation system in which the antibody is directionally coupled to the label (and not to itself) in a controlled fashion, creating high quality conjugates. As the procedure is not interrupted by desalting steps, trial conjugates can be prepared with microgram quantities of protein and then scaled up with ease. Lightning-Link™ eliminates problems associated with scale up; hands-on time is essentially independent of process scale. Consistency from batch to batch is easy to achieve, and recoveries approach 100%. Further technical information is available on the Lightning-Link FAQ page.

Lightning-Link HRP, Lightning-Link Alkaline Phosphatase, Lightning-Link Avidin, Lightning-Link Biotin, Lightning-Link Gox, Lightning-Link APC, Lightning-Link B-phycoerythrin and Lightning-Link R-phycoerythrin kits are currently available. They will shortly be joined by kits offering a range of other common labels (see below).
