Carbotrace 520

Carbotrace 520 is our green optotracer for labeling repetitive motifs in proteins and carbohydrates. Generally, Carbotrace labeling is strongest with protein aggregates. Homoglucans like cellulose are labeled reliably, albeit with lower quantum yield. Heteroglucans with low degree of branching like starches are labeled and can be distingiushed by their spectral fingerpint. Generally labelling of hemicelluloses is weak or absent.

Carbotrace 520 is available as 1 mg/ml solution in ultrapure water (Aqueous) with volumes ranging from 10 - 200 µL (See volumes and prices in the drop-down list below). The product should be diluted 1:1000 before use. To prevent evaporation of the aqueous solvent, close the container carefully after use, spin down liquid and use up small volumes quickly.
