EbbaBiolight 680 is our red optotracer for labeling extracellular and intracellular bacterial amyloids as well as certain glucans produced as part of the extracellular matrix. Specifically, EbbaBiolight 680 labels curli in the extracellular matrix produced by Salmonella as well as β-glucans and chitins in yeast- and hyphal forms of C. albicans. Furthermore, it has been used to track pellicle biofilm formation by B. cenocepacia. Contact us to learn more about EbbaBiolight applications.
As all our optotracers, EbbaBiolight 680 is exceptionally photostable and fluorogenic. When bound to a target, EbbaBiolight 680 can be imaged using fluorescence microscopy and spectral information can be acquired using a fluorescence spectrophotometer. As spectral information can give hints of the nature of the target, we recommend to acquire excitation and emission spectra whenever possible.
