Acridine orange is a nucleic acid-selective fluorescent cationic dye useful for cell cycle determination. It emits green fluorescence (525 nm) when bound to dsDNA and red fluorescence (650 nm) when bound to ssDNA or RNA.
Polysciences" grade of acridine orange is of exceptionally high purity, suitable for quantitative work. It is free of inorganic salts. We offer a highly purified form of acridine orange while most of the other commercially available grades are either of low purity or in zinc chloride complex form.
