General description

Acridine Orange base (3,6-Bis(dimethylamino)acridine) is a cell-permeable fluorescent dye that binds to nucleic acids. It emits green fluorescence when bound to dsDNA and red fluorescence when bound to ssDNA or RNA. It is also known to be a positive solvatochromic dye.

Application

Acridine orange has also been used as a lysosomal dye. It is widely used to detect the presence of homeopathic potencies.

Questions

  1. What do you mean by saying "dye content 75%", is there any other compound in the product?

    1 answer
    1. A dye content of '75 %' implies that 75 % of the product, by weight, is composed of the active dye substance. This is typical of several stain and dye products. The exact composition is not determined, however, the remainder is likely salts and other water-soluble materials.
