Amytracker 680

Amytracker 680 is our red fluorescent optotracer for labeling protein aggregates with repetitive arrangement of β-sheets. It labels Aβ plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in tissue sections with AD pathology and α-synuclein aggregates in tissue sections with PD pathology. Specifically, Amytracker 680 has been used to study amyloid formation during abnormal coagulation, Lewy body formation in a seeding based neuronal model, accumulation of misfolded proteins in the nucleolus and intracerebral formation of Aβ plaques using multiphoton microscopy. Contact us to learn more about Amytracker applications.

As all our optotracers, Amytracker 680 is exceptionally photostable and fluorogenic. When bound to a target, Amytracker 680 can be imaged using epifluorescence, confocal and superresolution microscopy. Spectral information can be acquired using a fluorescence spectrophotometer. Use recommended filter sets as well as excitation- and emission wavelengths according to the following table.

Amytracker 680 is available as a 1 mg/ml solution in volumes ranging from 10 - 200 µL (see volumes and prices in the list below). As our standard solvent, we use ultrapure water (MilliQ). We also provide Amytracker 680 dissolved in DMSO. Please contact us for custom options.
