Scientific Overview

Musa paradisiaca Lectin (BanLec) - Cy5 is a carbohydrate-binding protein (lectin) derived from banana plants with high specificity for mannose and glucose. This Cy5-conjugated lectin is widely utilized in glycoprotein research, cell identification, and diagnostic applications. BanLec exhibits strong binding affinity and excellent performance for a molecular tool for various biochemical applications.

  • High specificity for mannose and glucose residues
  • Cy5-conjugated for fluorescence applications
  • Excellent stability and reproducibility
  • Suitable for cell sorting, immunofluorescence, and diagnostic assays

Usage & Handling Guidance

Store at 2-8°C. The liquid formulation should be kept in its original container. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. For optimal results, use appropriate pipetting techniques and store in the dark to preserve Cy5 fluorescence.

  • Working concentration: 1–10 µg/mL (optimize for your assay)
  • Storage: 2-8°C protected from light
  • Reaction conditions: Typically pH 7.0–8.0, 25–37°C

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • What does BanLec bind to?
    BanLec has high affinity for mannose and glucose residues on glycoproteins and cell surfaces.
  • Can I use this for flow cytometry?
    Yes. The Cy5 conjugation is optimized for flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy.
  • How long does the Cy5 fluorescence last?
    Store protected from light to maintain fluorescence. Cy5 is generally stable for months at 2-8°C.
  • What buffer should I use?
    Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) or other physiological pH buffers (7.0–8.0) are recommended.
  • Are custom conjugations available?
    Yes. Contact Blue Tiger Scientific for custom fluorophore conjugations or bulk quantities.
