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.

λmax 552nm

DNA intercalating dye. A grade of acridine orange of exceptionally high purity, suitable for quantitative work. Free of inorganic salts. A specific stain for RNA, used as a 2% solution containing 1% lanthanum acetate in 15% acetic acid.

Fluorescein sodium is used extensively as a diagnostic tool in the field of ophthalmology and optometry. Topical fluorescein is used for the diagnosis of corneal abrasions, ulcers and herpetic corneal infections.

Color Index Number: 45350

(Acid Yellow, Uraine)

Polyene antibiotic fluorochrome for cholesterol determination. Used as an antifungal agent.

Cyanoditolyl tetrazolium chloride has been used to measure the redox activity of tumor cells. It has also been employed for direct epifluorescent microscopic enumeration of respiring bacteria in food samples and environmental samples, especially water samples.

Hydroxynapthol Blue is suitable for calcium determinations.

Reduced ethidium bromide. A vital stain. Enters and stains living cells without cellular trauma.

For pulsed and CW operation in the green-blue spectral region. Tunable from 515-585nm.

Fluorescent dye, miscible in ethanol or neutral buffer.

(7-Diethylamino-4-methylcoumarin; 7-Diethylamino-4-methyl-1-benzo-pyran-2-one)

Fluorescent chromosome stain. Recommended use is 10mg/ml for 2-10 minutes. This will vary based on section thickness.

(2’-[4-Hydroxyphenyl]-5-[4-methyl-1-piperazinyl]-2,5’-bi-1H-benzimidazole trihydrochloride pentahydrate; Hoechst 33258)

DNA intercalating dye. A grade of acridine orange of exceptionally high purity, suitable for quantitative work.

Frameshift mutagenic standard for Ames test in Salmonella and E. Coli.

([6-Chloro-9-(3-[2-chloroethylamino]propylamino)-2-methoxyacridine] dihydrochloride; ICR 191 Acridine mutagen; Ames mutagen 191)

The Fungi-Fluor^® Kit for Fungal Detection offers a quick fluorescent stain/counterstain procedure for various fungal organisms. The kit can be used to screen a variety of specimen types, such as sputum and skin scrapings, for fungal detection.

Pneumocystis jiroveci (previously named P. carinii) is an organism that can cause Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in immunocompromised patients. PCP, long associated with morbidity and mortality with HIV-infected (AIDS) patients, is now increasing in prevalence among the non-HIV infected immunosuppressed population. Early detection allows the introduction of appropriate treatment and may improve chances of patient survival. The Fungi Fluor^® Pneumocystis kit offers a fast, fluorescent staining procedure for Pneumocystis carinii in bronchial specimens.

Product is for research use only in Europe.

Stabilizer of dye solutions which have not been oxygen degassed.
Also known as DABCO® , TEDA or triethylenediamine
