Amytracker can be used to stain tissue sections prepared by the most common techniques like paraffin embedding and freezing. Formalin fixation works well for extracellular deposits, and fixation in ice-cold ethanol or acetone is recommended for best preservation of intracellular aggregates. Amytracker can be easily combined with your co-staining of...

Amytracker might be combined with antibody staining to confirm presence of specifc amyloidogenic proteins or peptides. This protocol describes a simple procedure of how to combine Amytracker with antibody staining using a sequence specific primary antibody and a fluorescently labeled secondary antibody. We assume you are using formalin-fixed, paraffing embedded...

All Amytracker fluorescent tracers cross the cell membrane of living cells without permeabilization. Of all Amytracker molecules, Amytracker 540 has the best uptake properties. We recommend washing, but if you have sensitive cells, you might consider to skip the washing step. Due to their low background fluorescence and minimal interference...

This protocol describes how Amytracker can be utilized for fibrillation assays and detection of amyloids in liquid samples. As Amytracker molecules are highly fluorescent only when they are bound to their target, they are ideally suited for spectrophotometric analysis. We recommend to perform a titration to use Amytracker in the...
