Product Description

Oxazole Blue, also known as PO-PRO™-1, is a blue-fluorescent, cell-impermeant, high-affinity carbocyanine monomeric nucleic acid stain. The dye is essentially non-fluorescent in the absence of nucleic acids but exhibits strong excitation/emission maxima 434/457 nm when bound to nucleic acids. In addition, the dye is non-cytotoxic and may be used for long-term monitoring of viability in cell cultures.

  • Monomeric nucleic acid stain
  • Cell-impermeant
  • Dead and apoptotic cell indicator
  • λExEm (with DNA) = 434/457 nm
  • Supplied at 1 mM in DMSO
  • C20H27I2N3O
  • MW: 579
