Invitrogen™ SYTO™ Green Fluorescent Nucleic Acid Stains

SYTO Green Fluorescent Nucleic Acid Stains exhibit bright, green fluorescence upon binding to nucleic acids. These dyes are cell-permeant and can be used to stain RNA and DNA in live cells, dead cells, and bacteria.

The SYTO Green Fluorescent Nucleic Acid Stains exhibit bright, green fluorescence upon binding to nucleic acids. These dyes are cell-permeant and can be used to stain RNA and DNA in live cells, dead cells, and bacteria. Because the dye characteristics and staining pattern of the SYTO dyes may vary, we offer 10 different SYTO Green Fluorescent Nucleic Acid Stains available individually along with the SYTO Green Fluorescent Nucleic Acid Stain Sampler Kit #1 (containing SYTO 11–14, 16, 21, and 24) to enable researchers to find the most appropriate green-fluorescent SYTO stain for their system . We also provide the SYTOX Green Nucleic Acid Stain (Cat. No. S7020 and R37109), which is a cell-impermeant green-fluorescent stain used for staining dead cells or performing nuclear counterstaining in fixed cells.

SYTO 9 green fluorescent nucleic acid stain has been shown to stain live and dead Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and it is a component of the LIVE/DEAD BacLight Bacterial Viability Kits (Cat. No. L-7007, L-7012, L-13152).

Any physiological buffer between pH 7.0–8.0, including PBS, can be used to dilute the SYTO dyes for the staining solution.
