Concanavalin A (Con A) derived from Canavalia ensiformis (jack bean) is a plant lectin protein with a molecular weight of approximately 104 kDa Each subunit can bind one Ca2 ion and one Mn2 ion and has one carbohydrate binding site Con A is capable of binding to various glycoproteins glycolipids and -D-glucose and -D-mannose residues HyperFluorTM 488 is a fluorescent dye that emits green fluorescence under UV light (Ex/Em 495 nm/519 nm) This combination grants Con A-HyperFluorTM 488 superior visualization capability when detecting carbohydrate molecules on cell surfaces This product is HyperFluorTM 488-labeled Con A in solution form It is applicable in glycobiology research serving as a probe to detect carbohydrate molecules on the cell surface and analyzed effectively using flow cytometry Applying IHC staining procedures with this product allows visualization of carbohydrate distribution in tissues or cells under a fluorescence microscope
