Nucleic Acid Binding Dyes

A membrane-impermeant nucleic acid intercalator. The dye is commonly used to selectively stain dead cells in a mixed live-dead population and also used as a counterstain in multicolor fluorescent assays.

Oxazole Gold, also known as SYBR® Gold, is the most sensitive fluorescent gel stain available for DNA and RNA.

Thiazole Green, which is structurally identical to SYBR® Green I Nucleic Acid Gel Stain, is one of the most sensitive stains available for detecting double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) in agarose, polyacrylamide gels and qPCR.

Ultra sensitive and environmentally safe replacement for EtBr DNA/RNA gel stain.

Cell membrane-impermeant, nuclear-specific green counterstain. Suitable for fixed cells or staining dead cells in live cultures.

A revolutionary antifade mounting medium optimally formulated for preserving fluorescence of our CF® dyes and other fluorochromes. EverBrite™ Hardset mounting medium hardens at room temperature completely in 24 hours.

A commonly used redox indicator in nucleic acid research. MB-Maleimide can be used to label molecules containing free thiol groups.

A commonly used redox indicator in nucleic acid research. MB-Azide can be used to label alkyne, BCN, or phosphine-containing molecules.

A commonly used redox indicator in nucleic acid research. MB-TCO (trans-cyclooctene) may be used to label tetrazine tagged molecules via a copper-free reaction.

A commonly used redox indicator in nucleic acid research. MB-methyltetrazine may be used to label TCO (trans-cyclooctene) tagged molecules via a copper-free reaction.

A commonly used redox indicator in nucleic acid research. MB-dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO) allows copper-free bioorthogonal conjugation to spontaneously label molecules containing azide groups.

DAPI is a popular blue fluorescent DNA dye. The dye binds to the minor groove of dsDNA with approximately 20-fold fluorescence enhancement.

Oxazole Red, also known as YO-PRO®-3, is a far-red fluorescent, cell-impermeant nucleic acid stain that can be used to stain dead or fixed cells.

Oxazole Red Homodimer, also known as YOYO®-3, is a far-red fluorescent, cell-impermeant nucleic acid stain that can be used to stain dead or fixed cells.

Oxazole Blue Homodimer, also known as POPO™-1, is a blue-fluorescent, cell-impermeant nucleic acid stain that can be used to stain dead or fixed cells.

Oxazole Yellow Homodimer, also known as YOYO®-1, is a green-fluorescent, cell-impermeant nucleic acid stain that can be used to stain dead or fixed cells.
