Product Name
Acridine Orange
Product Overview
Acridine orange is used for fluorescence imaging of cell nuclei.
Description
Acridine orange is a cell-permeant nucleic acid binding dye that emits green fluorescence when bound to dsDNA and red fluorescence when bound to ssDNA or RNA. This unique characteristic makes acridine orange useful for cell-cycle studies. Acridine orange has also been used as a lysosomal dye.
Applications
Nuclear counterstaining.
Usage
Nuclear fluorescent probe
Storage
2-8℃, protect from light.
