This package includes 50 nmol of SNAP-Cell 430 substrate, sufficient to make 10 ml of a 5 µM SNAP-tag fusion protein labeling solution.
The SNAP-tag protein labeling system enables the specific, covalent attachment of virtually any molecule to a protein of interest. The SNAP-tag is a small protein based on human O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (AGT). SNAP-tag substrates are derivatives of benzylpurines and benzylchloropyrimidines. In the labeling reaction, the substituted benzyl group of the substrate is covalently attached to the SNAP-tag.
There are two steps to using this system: sub-cloning and expression of the protein of interest as a SNAP-tag fusion, and labeling of the fusion with the SNAP-tag substrate of choice. Expression of SNAP-tag fusion proteins is described in the documentation supplied with SNAP-tag plasmids. The labeling of the fusion proteins with the SNAP-tag substrate is described below.

This product is related to the following categories:
Storage: SNAP-Cell 430 should be stored at -20°C (long term) or at 4°C in the dark (short term, less than 4 weeks). Protect the substrate from light and moisture. With proper storage at -20°C the substrate should be stable for at least three years dry or 3 months dissolved in DMSO.
After addition of DMSO, pipette up and down at least 10-20 times and vortex vigorously for at least one full minute to ensure full dissolution of the substrate.
After diluting the substrate in complete medium, thoroughly pipette up and down at least 10 times to help reduce background.
Increasing substrate concentration and/or reaction time usually results in higher background and does not necessarily increase the signal-to-background ratio (SNR).
After the wash steps, incubate the intracellular labeling samples at 37°C, 5% CO2 for 30 extra minutes to allow any unincorporated fluorophore to diffuse out of the cells.
