Useful in in vitro cell growth assays with possible applicability to a variety of problems in cellular pharmacology and biology.

Histochemical substrate for β-galactosidase.

X-gal

A cationic fluorescent dye which specifically binds to adenine-thymine-rich DNA. Applications include detection of nanogram quantities of DNA in cellular homogenates, and cytofluorometric determination of the DNA base content in human chromosomes. Available in bulk quantities for OEM users at significant savings.

λ max 342nm

Used in combination with methyl green for the selective and differential staining of nucleic acids. The pyronin Y stains RNA red, while the methyl green stains DNA green. The combined methyl green-pyronin Y stain is a useful histochemical reagent. Pyronin Y can also be used as a tracking dye for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
