Azad Farzadfard about Amytracker 580 and Amytracker 680
"Amytracker was a great substitute for ThT in visualizing the alpha-synuclein fibrils inside the water-in-oil emulsion droplets made in microfluidic devices. ThT leakage from these droplets was an issue that was resolved by Amytracker products. I started by using Amytracker 480 that was a great upgrade for my experiments in compare to ThT. No leakage and footprint on PDMS was observed, but Amytracker 480 still showed background inside the droplets in my setup. Replacing it with Amytracker 680, however, removed the background completely with high sensitivity for the fibrils."
