high performance fluorescent dyes.

Press Release Body: November 6, 2007 - San Jose, CA
This week AnaSpec announced the release of the HiLytePlusT series of fluorescent
dyes. Demonstrating even greater brightness than AnaSpec's HiLyte FluorT line, this
series represents the next generation in AnaSpec's line of high performance
fluorescent dyes. With excitation wavelengths of 555, 647 and 750 nm, the
HiLytePlusT series is optimized for long wavelength biomarker labeling.
R&D Manager, Dr. Rich Meyer noted, "Our original HiLyte FluorT series was already
returning superior performance results in comparison to Cy® and similar dyes. With
the introduction of our HiLytePlusT series, we are looking to distance ourselves
even further in terms of performance. By maintaining a price point that is
significantly more cost effective than our major competitors, we believe that our
HiLytePlusT series will prove to be extremely competitive in the high performance
biomarker labeling market."
The HiLytePlusT series dyes are available individually and in AnaTagT Labeling Kits,
labeled secondary antibodies, and labeled streptavidin. The individual dyes are
available in different reactive forms - acid, amine, C2 maleimide, hydrazide, and
succinimidyl esters (SE).

Goat anti-rabbit antibody was labeled with a mole ratio of 8:1 of each of the
indicated dyes in to give a degree of substitution of 3 (+/- 8%). Solutions of
rabbit IgG were added to the wells of high-binding 96-well plates, which were then
blocked with BSA. A solution of the labeled antibodies was added and the plates,
after incubation and washing, were read at the optimal excitation and emission
wavelengths.
