TriStains, which manufactures and markets stains and indicators in various packing, offers laboratories turn key solutions for all their staining and indicator needs, improving accuracy in every experiment.

Application :

  • Acridine orange base is used in a wide variety of biotechnology applications, including microscopy and flow cytometry.
  • It is commonly used for staining nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA, in cells and tissues. It intercalates into the nucleic acid strands and emits fluorescence, allowing for the visualization and analysis of DNA or RNA distribution, integrity, and cellular localization.DNA/RNA Quantification.
  • It is used to assess cell viability. It can distinguish between live cells (green fluorescence) and apoptotic or dead cells (orange-red fluorescence) based on their staining patterns. 

Benefits :

  • Gives accurate, reliable, and reproducible results
  • Quantifying nucleic acids in solution
  • Stable at low pH
