Vigna radiata (VRA) (TRITC (Rhodamine))

Vigna radiata Lectin (VRA) is labeled with tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate (TRITC) and has an appropriate number of fluorochromes bound to provide the optimum staining characteristics for this lectin. TRITC is a bright orange or red-fluorescent dye with excitation ideally suited to the 532-nm laser line. TRITC labeled VRA can be used for cellular imaging applications.||Source:|Mung bean||Blood Specificity:|Rabbit Agglutinin (Trypsin-Treated)||Sugar Specificity:|alpha-Galactose||Inhibitory Carbohydrate:|alpha-Galactose||Fluorescence:|Orange||Excitation:|545-555nm||Emission:|570-580nm||Storage and Stability:|May be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
