Acridine Orange is an orange-brown to reddish-brown fluorescent powdered stain commonly used in laboratory stain techniques. It is a cell-permeant nucleic acid–binding dye that emits green fluorescence when bound to double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and red fluorescence when bound to single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) or RNA. When bound to DNA, Acridine Orange shows a maximum excitation at 502 nm and maximum emission at 525 nm. It has a maximum excitation of 460 nm and emission of 650 nm when reacting with RNA. This dye can also be referred to as a positive solvatochromic dye and can be used as a lysosomal stain. The other synonyms are 3,6-Acridinediamine, Acridine Orange Base, Acridine Orange NO and Basic Orange 14.

Applications

• Cell-Cycle Studies: It has the capacity to stain nucleic acid which can be used to study the cell-cycle and differentiate between different cell populations.
• Bacterial Detection: Extensively used in microbiology in fluorescent bacteria detection in blood cultures and biological fluids.
• Sterile Specimen Screening:Used for rapid screening of specimens that are normally sterile.
• Genetics & Molecular Biology: Enables the detection of RNA and DNA, and assists genetic and molecular biology research.

Key features

• pH Sensitive: Works well in low-pH, thus being applicable in various biological applications.
• Cell Differentiation Support: Improves the distinction of the bacterial cells and the white blood cells with other cellular components.
• High Quality & Reliable: Gives stable and powerful output in microscopy and fluorescence research.
