Name
Allophycocyanin (APC)
Description
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. This product is supplied with 50% ammonium sulfate for longer-term storage. The ammonium sulfate is used to increase the fluorescent protein's quality and avoid protein degradation, however, this must be removed by buffer exchange before use.

> 10.0 mg/ml
Product Form
Liquid
Formulation
Supplied in Phosphate Buffered Saline.
Storage
Store in the dark at 2-8°C. Avoid prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze!
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.
