What does 4X PEG mean in the 800 channel Dylight Conjugate names?

PEG (polyethylene glycol) has been added to our Anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) (DyLight™ 800 4X PEG Conjugate) #5151 and Anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (DyLight™ 800 4X PEG Conjugate) #5257 to increase their solubility and stability for various applications, including cellular and in vivo imaging. Internal Fluorescent Western and In-cell Western testing shows that the addition of PEG to these secondaries not only significantly increases signal but also decreases background fluorescence.
