PhycoPro™ PB11 C-Phycocyanin is a phycobiliprotein
isolated from Spirulina sp., a
blue-green algae. Like other
phycobiliproteins, PB11 C-Phycocyanin is
fluorescent, with an extremely high
absorbtivity, a high quantum efficiency, a
large Stokes shift and excitation and emission
bands at visible wavelengths. It is a stable
protein which can be easily linked to
antibodies and other proteins by
conventional protein cross-linking
techniques without altering its spectral
characteristics.
