Biological description
Lipophilic, carboxylic acid analog of Congo red (ab145645), shown to bind to the β-amyloid protein in vitro. Binding to the β-amyloid protein inhibits its neurodegenerative activity. Chrysamine G inhibits β-amyloid due to its antioxidant acitvity. Crosses the blood-brain barrier and serves as a useful probe for detecting β-amyloid aggregates.

Handling
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
