Name
Activated Allophycocyanin (APC)
Description
Activated APC belongs to the phycobiliprotein family of highly soluble and fluorescent proteins derived from cyanobacteria and eukaryotic algae. APC is an ultra-sensitive fluorescent tracer with high emission quantum yields, that emits in the near-infrared fluorescence range. It therefore avoids interference from the autofluorescence of cellular components and other biological materials. Home Algae's activated APC is an SH-reactive ready-to-use reagent. Modified Allophycocyanin has Maleimide groups that easily react with SH groups of a target antibody, enabling convenient conjugation without the need for an additional activation.

General Notes

APC is significantly more sensitive than conventional organic fluorophores and has been used in applications such as Flow Cytometry, Homogeneous FRET assay, and Immunoassays. APC's absorbance maximum is at 650 nm, with a resolvable emission peak at 660 nm. It shows minimal fluoresence quenching.

APC won't penetrate into the cell and cause a false-positive reaction.

Non-toxic, with less chance of affecting characteristics of the sample, human body, and environment.
