Thermo Scientific™ Pierce™ Avidin, 20 mg

Thermo Scientific Pierce Avidin is a purified avidin protein from hen egg whites that effectively binds biotin, a tag that is frequently used to tag antibodies and other probes for immunodetection methods.

Features

• Native avidin—glycoprotein from chicken egg whites, 67kDa, pI = 10
• Soluble—glycosylation and isoelectric point renders avidin more soluble than streptavidin
• Affordable—significantly less expensive than recombinant streptavidin
• ABC staining—avidin is usually preferred over streptavidin for avidin-biotin complex (ABC) staining methods in immunohistochemistry (IHC)
• Pure protein—choose pure, unconjugated avidin for use in ABC staining
