Carbotrace 480 is our blue 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. Specifically, Carbotrace 480 has been used to optimize a sustainable extraction method for cellulose hydrogels derived from microalgae. Contact us to learn more about applications for Carbotrace 480.

Exmax Emmax Recommended filter-sets Carbotrace 480 420 nm 480 nm DAPI Carbotrace 480 is available in four different formulations (See volumes and prices in the drop-down list below): Aqueous: 1 mg/ml solution in ultrapure water. 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. DMSO: 1 mg/ml solution in DMSO to prevent solvent evaporation. The product should be diluted 1:1000 before use. Solid: 1 mg solid lyophilised in a sterile injection bottle. Drop&Shine: 5 ml ready-to-use product in mounting medium. Ideal for use in sections. Add a some Drop&Shine and mount your slide to analyse biomass or other cellulosic materials within minutes.
