General guidance for this class

Reference standards in the Cell Adhesion class are typically shipped as lyophilized powder and stored desiccated at −20 °C protected from light. Once reconstituted in bacteriostatic water or the assay-appropriate buffer, aliquot and store at −80 °C to minimize freeze–thaw cycles. Confirm handling requirements against your institutional biosafety and radiation protocols before use.

Mechanism & research applications

Azo Light (Azo-L) Tag sits within the Cell Adhesion research class (CPC reference LINK-003). Cell-adhesion peptides present short recognition motifs (RGD, YIGSR, IKVAV, and related sequences) that engage integrins and matrix receptors, allowing controlled studies of attachment, spreading, migration, and outside-in signaling. Investigators typically incorporate Azo Light (Azo-L) Tag as a reference standard, tool ligand, or substrate in the assay contexts listed above. Typically used in coated-plate attachment assays, transwell migration, and SPR / BLI integrin-binding measurements.

Studied for

  • Integrin engagement and blocking studies
  • Migration and wound-closure assays
  • Biomaterial and scaffold functionalization
  • Cancer cell adhesion and metastasis models

Frequently asked

What is Azo Light (Azo-L) Tag?

Azo Light (Azo-L) Tag (CPC catalog code LINK-003) is a synthetic cell adhesion / ecm peptide in the cell adhesion category. It is provided as a lyophilized ~1 mg vial for in-vitro research use only.

What is Azo Light (Azo-L) Tag studied for?

Published and internal research programs use Azo Light (Azo-L) Tag as a reference standard in cell adhesion workflows — for example, integrin engagement and blocking studies and migration and wound-closure assays. Human clinical evidence is not established.

Is Azo Light (Azo-L) Tag FDA-approved for human use?

No. Azo Light (Azo-L) Tag is a research-grade reference peptide and is not approved by the FDA or any national regulator for human or veterinary therapeutic use. It is offered exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research and does not ship to the United States for consumer use.

How is Azo Light (Azo-L) Tag typically used in the lab?

In a cell adhesion workflow, Azo Light (Azo-L) Tag is reconstituted in sterile buffer or DMSO (solubility-dependent) and applied in the researcher's chosen assay format. Typically used in coated-plate attachment assays, transwell migration, and SPR / BLI integrin-binding measurements.
