Press Release Body: November 26, 2007 - San Jose, CA

This month, AnaSpec introduced a new series of AnaTagTM Labeling Kits now available
with the revolutionary new HiLytePlusT series of long-wavelength dyes. Built on
HiLyte FluorT technology, the HiLytePlusT series represents AnaSpec's highest
performance dyes for Red-NIR wavelengths.

With a labeling time as short as 30 minutes, AnaTagTM Labeling Kits contain all
essential components for conjugation reaction and purification of dye-protein
conjugates. AnaTagTM Labeling Kits are available in two reaction sizes: Microscale
(up to 200 ug protein x 3 labelings) and Larger scale (up to 5 mg protein x 3
reactions)

The succinimidyl ester (SE) reactive form of the labeling dye reacts with the amine
group on the protein and forms stable carboxamide bonds which are identical to and
as stable as the natural peptide bond. The resulting dye-protein conjugates are very
stable and are suitable for immunofluorescent staining, fluorescence in situ
hybridization, flow cytometry and other biological applications.
