ICG Labeling Kit - NH2 is primarily used for the preparation of ICG-labeled antibodies for near-infrared fluorescence imaging. The excitation and emission wavelength of the ICG-labeled proteins are 774 nm and 805 nm, respectively. Thus, ICG are suitable materials for in vivo imaging. NH2 Reactive ICG, a component of this kit, has a succinimidyl ester group, and can easily make a covalent bond with an amino group of the target protein without any activation process. Filtration Tube included in this kit is used for sample protein in removing small molecules such as amine compounds that interfere with a labeling reaction. The labeling process is very simple. Just add the NH2-Reactive ICG to protein solution(50-200 UG protein/sample) on a filter membrane, and incubate at 37°C for 10 min. Excess ICG molecules can be removed by a filtration tube.
