pHintra™ Antibody Labeling Kit

Covalent pH-Sensitive Labeling for Antibody Internalization Studies

Why Perform ADC Internalization Analysis?
ADC internalization is a key step in intracellular payload delivery and therapeutic activity. Quantifying internalization efficiency enables direct comparison of candidate molecules and supports target screening, antibody optimization, and ADC development.
ADC Internalization Analysis
ACROBiosystems introduces the pHintra™ Antibody Labeling Kit, which enables provide a labeling strategy of antibodies from different species and subclasses, as well as ADCs, using pH-sensitive fluorescence.

Why Choose the pHintra™ Antibody Labeling Kit?

Amine-Reactive Covalent Labeling

Amine-Reactive Covalent Labeling

Covalently labels primary amines on antibodies.

High Signal-to-Noise Ratio

High Signal-to-Noise Ratio

Strong fluorescence with low background.

Acid-Responsive Em660 Signal

Acid-Responsive Em660 Signal

Fluorescence increases in acidic compartments.

30-Min Hands-on Time

30-Min Hands-on Time

Approximately 30 minutes of hands-on work with a total assay time of 2.5 hours.

Broad Antibody Compatibility

Broad Antibody Compatibility

Supports antibodies from different species and subclasses, as well as ADCs.

Fully Pre-configured Kit

Fully Pre-configured Kit

Includes all required reagents and a standardized protocol.

How It Works

The pHintra™ Antibody Labeling Kit uses an Em660 pH-sensitive fluorescent dye to covalently label antibodies through primary amine groups. Em660 fluorescence increases in acidic intracellular compartments while remaining low under neutral extracellular conditions, enabling internalization analysis with low background.
Excitation: 643 nm
Emission: 660 nm

Validation Data

Flow Cytometry Analysis of ALK-A004-Labeled Antibodies
Flow Cytometry Analysis of ALK-A004-Labeled Antibodies

Anti-Her2 Ab and Human IgG1 isotype control were labeled using pH-Sensitive Fluorescent Dye Antibody Labeling Kit (Cat. No. ALK-A004). SK-BR-3 cells were treated with Dye Labeled Anti-Her2 Ab and Dye Labeled Isotype Control separately at 37℃ for 4 hours, then analysis by Flow cytometric. APC signal was used to evaluate the internalization signal.
