When trying to understand and build in a world reliant on polymers, plant tissue is at the forefront of green chemistry with the abundance provided by polysaccharides. Techniques for the analysis of structures, morphology and... Read more
As starch is a thermo-sensitive material that undergoes drastic morphological changes when heated, it is even possible to monitor starch reorganization during heat-induced swelling. When freshly extracted potato starch granules marked with Carbotrace 680 are... Read more
We named our Carbotrace molecules after their peak emission wavelength when they are bound to their target. That means, when Carbotrace is bound to a target, it will emit fluorescence at peak emission indicated by... Read more
Detection of polysaccharides using Carbotrace 680 relies on regularly occurring units joined by glycosidic linkages. The specific type of glycosidic linkage and the occurrence of branches allow Carbotrace 680 to differentiate between different types of... Read more
