His tagged protein detection & purification

Catalog Products » Antibodies » Protein Detection and Immunoassay » His Tagged Protein Detection & Purification

Overview

His-tag is one of the most widely applied tags for recombinant protein expression and purification. It is also used for binding assay to detect protein-protein interactions by a pull-down assay or in conjunction with anti-His antibody as IP/Co-IP assay. The three new high quality mAb based assay products will provide convenient, easy, and robust tools for different purposes, including purification and detection of His-tagged fusion-protein for downstream assays, enrichment and screening of His-tagged fusion-protein mutants, and Co-IP & screening of interacting proteins.

Applications

Detect His-tagged proteins

Screen optimal expression conditions

Semi-quantitation with known His-tagged protein as standards

His Tag ELISA Detection Kit

His Tag Antibody Plate

His Tag Antibody Plate is a microtiter plate coated with THE™ Anti His Tag Antibody. The plate is designed for capturing His tagged protein with His tag located at N-terminus, C-terminus, or internal of the protein. It can be applied for analysis of different length of His tag including Hexa-His (6 His), Penta-His (5-His) and Tetra-His (4-His).The plate demonstrate high sensitivity and high binding capacity. The capacity and sensitivity varies, depending on protein size, structure and solution buffer. Generally, proteins with lower molecular weight (M.W) can be more sensitive to the His antibody plate than ones with higher M.W. Compared with Nickel Coated Plate, the affinity plate can bind target proteins with high specificity, and tolerable with several common used reagents such as EDTA, imidazole and β-ME.

Difference between Plates

Selection Guide

The key differences between L00440B, L00440W, and L00440C (See the table below for details)

Optical Principle

High light transmission (>90%)

Reflects light to enhance weak signals

Absorbs stray light to minimize background

Optimal Use

Absorbance (OD) detection

Chemiluminescence, low-intensity fluorescence, or reflectance-based colorimetric assays

High-sensitivity fluorescence (e.g., TRF, Cy5), low-background applications

Avoid

Fluorescence/chemiluminescence

High-background fluorescence assays

Absorbance detection

Choose different ELISA plates according to different application scenarios (see the table below for selection guide)

Colorimetric assays(e.g., HRP-TMB OD450/620)

L00440C (Clear)

Maximizes light transmission for accurate absorbance readings.

Chemiluminescence(e.g., Luciferase reporter)

L00440W (White)

Reflects emitted light to amplify weak signals (e.g., low-abundance targets).

Low-intensity fluorescence(e.g., FITC/TRITC)

Reflective background enhances signal-to-noise ratio for weak fluorescence.

High-sensitivity fluorescence(e.g., Cy5, TRF, FRET)

L00440B (Black)

Absorbs ambient and cross-well light, reducing background interference.

Flexible small-scale experiments

8x12 removable strips enable cost-effective testing.

FAQ

L00436 is designed for a 96-well plate, suitable for direct transfer testing of 96-well samples, but it is not suitable for the detection of rat and mouse samples. L01010 is designed for a 384-well plate, suitable for large-scale sample testing or direct transfer testing of 384-well samples, and it is suitable for the detection of mouse and rat samples without matrix interference issues.

L01010 is a semi-quantitative kit. If precise quantitative analysis is required, it is recommended to use your own standards and establish the standard curve according to the guidelines provided with the kit.

Incompatible plates compromise data integrity:

1. Clear plates for fluorescence/chemiluminescence: Light leakage between wells → Increased crosstalk and background noise (SNR drops >50%).False positives/negatives due to signal contamination.

2. Black plates for absorbance assays: Light absorption by black walls → Underestimated OD values (e.g., TMB OD450 may drop by 70%).

3. White plates for absorbance assays: Suboptimal light transmission → Reduced sensitivity.
