Acridine orange | ABP Biosciences

Introduction

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. Acridine orange is supplied as 10 mg/mL solution in water.
