The MAX Stain™ Universal Immunofluorescence System makes performing high-quality immunofluorescence easier by providing you with a complete set of proven, QC-tested components and an optimized protocol.
MAX Stain makes immunofluorescence experiments simpler and more consistent by providing you with everything you need. All you need to supply is a cell line and a primary antibody directed against your target protein. Active Motif's popular Chromeo™ 488 Goat anti-Rabbit IgG is included as it is a commonly used secondary antibody. Other Chromeo secondary antibodies, and those from other sources, can also be used.
