Background Information: R-phycoerythrin (R-PE) is an intensely bright phycobiliprotein isolated from red algae that exhibits extremely bright red-orange fluorescence with high quantum yields. The broad excitation spectrum provides the advantage for multi-color immunofluorescent staining or cell sorting. R-PE consists of a, b and g subunits and is present as (ab) 6g. R-PE and the closely related BPE are the most intensely fluorescent phycobiliproteins having orange fluorescence. R-PE is a large molecule used for fluorescence-based detection, primarily in flow cytometry, microarray assays, ELISAs, and other applications that require high sensitivity but not photostability. In practical applications, the sensitivity of R-PE conjugates is usually 5 to 10 times greater than those of the corresponding fluorescein conjugates.

Reconstitution Instructions: Before use, centrifuge the R-PE suspension at 10,000g for 10 min at 4C. Discard the supernatant and resuspend the pellet (R-PE) into the desired buffer. R-PE is stored in a salt solution and it must be extensively dialyzed (Can use BioVision’s Dialyzer tubes) or desalted in columns (BioVision Cat # 6564-25) prior to use, to remove any remaining ammonium sulphate.
