Intravital imaging is allowing researchers to capture images of biological processes in live animals. It has become an advanced tool to study the progression of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases in transgenic mice. In vivo imaging using two-photon microscopy is an advantageous technique for observing tissues and organs at high resolution. Amytracker are suitable for in vivo studies since our probes are non-toxic, able to cross the blood-brain barrier and stain fibrillar deposits in animal models of amyloidogenic diseases.
Presently, we supply Amytracker - Solid in sterile injection bottles optimized for labeling of protein aggregates in vivo for intravital imaging of protein aggregates. We recommend diluting Amytracker - Solid in physiological saline or PBS to 4 mg/ml and injecting a total dose of 5mg/KG intravenously. Imaging is optimal 24-72h
