OVERVIEW

Fluodyn™ Allophycocyanin (APC) is a water-soluble ﬂuorescent pigment protein extracted from Spirulina thanks to an innovative proccess developped by Biosciencia®.

Allophycocyanin is a part of the photosynthetic machinery of cyanobacteria and its structure optimizes the capture and transfer of light energy. When the individual molecules are puriﬁed and isolated, they become highly ﬂuorescent. Due to its high quantum yield and absorbance/ﬂuorescent properties, APC oﬀers a wide range of abilities as immunological assays, protein labelling and cell sorting.

Labeling of macromolecules with APC can provide absorbance coeﬃcients 30-fold higher than with small synthetic ﬂuorophores. Fluodyn™ Allophycocyanin is proposed under precipited or lyophilized form. Precipited form is provided with Quick Desalting System ready to use in few minutes. It can be conjugate with a wide range of molecules using standard reageant.
