Phycoerythrin is a red fluorescent phycobiliprotein produced by red algae and cyanobacteria to optimize light harvesting in deep or low-light marine environments.
It is one of the most valuable natural fluorescent molecules used in flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, biomedical imaging and diagnostics. Its high purity and spectral properties make it indispensable for advanced life-science tools!
Algae are literally lighting up modern medicine...
