Product Information
| Description: | BTA-1 is a probe for β-amyloid aggregates; fluorescent thioflavin-T derivative; exhibits high affinity for amyloid deposits; displays 50-fold higher affinity than thioflavin-T; selectively stains cerebral plaques and cerebrovascular amyloid deposits in the brains of PS1/APP transgenic mice, as well as Aβ fibrils in postmortem brain tissue obtained from AD patients; crosses the blood brain barrier. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
