Vector Laboratories is closed for the President’s Day on Monday, February 19th. We will be back in the office on Tuesday, February 20th.
We will respond to emails upon our return. Have a wonderful day.
Azide Plus reagents is the most recent step in improving CuAAC reaction in complex media developed by scientists at Click Chemistry Tools. Azide Plus reagents contain a complete copper-chelating system in their structure, allowing for the formation of strong, active copper complexes that act simultaneously as both reactant and catalyst in the CuAAC reaction. This azide-copper complex reacts almost instantaneously with alkynes under diluted conditions. This unprecedented reactivity in the CuAAC reaction is of special value for the detection of low abundance targets, improving biocompatibility, and is also valuable for any other application where greatly improved S/N ratio is highly desired.

This is a general protocol for fixed/permeabilized cell imaging through a copper-catalyzed click reaction using the fluorescent Azide Plus reagent. We recommend using this protocol as a starting point for optimization of particular click chemistry procedures. We have found that a 1.5-3.0 μM concentration of Azide Plus reagent was optimal for most applications, including imaging of EdU incorporated into newly synthesized DNA and imaging of OPP labeled proteins without causing a high background signal. The optimal final concentration of the Azide Plus reagent is sample dependent and may range from 0.5 μM to 10 μM. Final concentrations below or above this range are also possible, and should be optimized per the specific application.

This is a general protocol for labeling proteins in cell lysate through a copper-catalyzed click reaction using the fluorescent Azide Plus reagent. We recommend using this protocol as a starting point for optimization of particular click chemistry procedures. We have found that a 20 μM concentration of Azide Plus reagent was sufficient to label all alkyne-tagged proteins in the cell lysate without causing a high background signal. The optimal final concentration of the Azide Plus reagent is sample dependent and may range from 5 μM to 50 μM. Final concentrations below or above this range are also possible, and should be optimized per the specific application.
