Description
Allophycocyanin (APC), purified from Spirulina, is made up of alpha and beta subunits and is present as a trimer (αβ)3, which is unstable and susceptible to dissociation at low concentrations. The monomer, αβ, has a lower fluorescence quantum yield compared to the trimer and the maximal absorption is also shifted to 620 nm. The chemically cross-linked APC trimer is much more stable than the native APC trimer, but still retains the same spectroscopic properties as the native APC trimer.
Reconstitution
Mix thoroughly cl-APC until no precipitate is observed to get homogeneous solution. Further removal all the remaining ammonium sulfate and buffer exchange to the conjugation buffer.
Usage
No preservative is added in the product. Once reconstitute it, please use it as soon as possible.
Storage
