Anti-Streptavidin Antibody is Biotin Conjugated and detects streptavidin. Biotin is widely used throughout the biotechnology industry to conjugate proteins for biochemical assays. Biotin's small size typically does not affect the biological activity of protein upon biotinylation. Streptavidin and avidin bind biotin with high affinity (Kd of 10−14 mol/l to 10−15 mol/l) and thus biotinylated proteins of interest can be enriched from a sample due to this highly stable interaction. Biotin conjugated anti-streptavidins are used as an amplifying reagent in immunohistochemistry, microarray assays, ELISAs, blots, and other applications. This antibody reagent can bind to streptavidin through the antibody F(ab) or can be bound by streptavidin through the high affinity biotin-streptavidin interaction.

Store vial at -20° C or below prior to opening. This vial contains a relatively low volume of reagent (25 µL). To minimize loss of volume dilute 1:10 by adding 225 µL of the buffer stated above directly to the vial. Recap, mix thoroughly and briefly centrifuge to collect the volume at the bottom of the vial. Use this intermediate dilution when calculating final dilutions as recommended below. Store the vial at -20°C or below after dilution. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing.
