| Description | Acridine Orange (AO) is a metachromatic fluorescent dye whose emission color varies depending on the target it binds to:When binding to double-stranded DNA: It intercalates between base pairs and emits green fluorescence upon excitation (Ex 488 nm, Em 530 nm).When binding to single-stranded RNA or Acridine Orange (AO) is a metachromatic fluorescent dye whose emission color varies depending on the target it binds to:When binding to double-stranded DNA: It intercalates between base pairs and emits green fluorescence upon excitation (Ex 488 nm, Em 530 nm).When binding to single-stranded RNA or lysosomes: It attaches via electrostatic interactions and emits orange-red fluorescence (Em 640 nm).Under a fluorescence microscope, Acridine Orange permeates the membranes of normal cells, staining the nucleus with uniform green or yellow-green fluorescence. In apoptotic cells, due to chromatin condensation and fragmentation into apoptotic bodies, AO stains them with intense, condensed yellow-green fluorescence or fragmented yellow-green particles. In necrotic cells, the yellow-green fluorescence is reduced or absent.Acridine Orange is often used in combination with Propidium Iodide (PI) for dual staining. Since PI stains only dead cells, producing orange-red fluorescence, this method allows differentiation among normal, apoptotic, and necrotic cells.ComponentsA1456513Component50 Test100 TestStorage ConditionQuantity Per TestA1456513ADilution Buffer10 mL50 mL2-8℃0.1 mL per 0.5-1.0 × 10⁶ cellsA1456513BAO Staining Solution100 µL500 µL2-8℃, Protect from light.

Mix the AO Staining Solution with the Dilution Buffer at a ratio of 1:1000 to prepare the working solution. For example, add 10 µL of AO Staining Solution to 10 mL of Dilution Buffer to obtain 10 mL of Acridine Orange staining solution. 2. Staining with Acridine Orangea. For adherent cells: (a) Gently aspirate the culture medium from the plate. Rinse with PBS for about 10 seconds, then remove PBS. (b) Add Acridine Orange staining solution and incubate at room temperature for 5 minutes. Remove the staining solution and rinse with PBS for about 10 seconds. Repeat the rinse once. Note: For adherent cells cultured in a 6-well plate with a confluence exceeding 80%, it is recommended to add the staining working solution at a volume of 1 mL per well. This volume can be optimized based on the specific experimental system.(c) Incubate at room temperature for 5 minutes. (c) Add an appropriate amount of cell culture medium, staining buffer, or other suitable solution to cover the well bottom. Observe under a microscope. Depending on the detection requirements, green fluorescence can be observed at Ex/Em = 488/530 nm, and red fluorescence can be observed at Ex/Em = 540/640 nm. Alternatively, measure fluorescence intensity using a fluorescence microplate reader with bottom-reading capability.b. For suspension cells: (a) Take 1 mL of cell suspension. Centrifuge at 500g for 5 minutes at room temperature. Gently aspirate the medium, resuspend in PBS, and centrifuge again at 500g for 5 minutes. Remove PBS. (b) Add an appropriate amount of Acridine Orange staining solution to achieve a cell density of approximately 10⁶ cells/mL.(c) Incubate at room temperature for 5 minutes. (d) A drop of the sample was directly applied onto a glass slide, covered with a coverslip, and examined under a microscope. Depending on the detection requirements, green fluorescence can be observed at Ex/Em = 488/530 nm, and red fluorescence can be observed at Ex/Em = 540/640 nm. Alternatively, after staining, analyze directly by flow cytometry or measure fluorescence with a microplate reader.Note: Centrifugation to remove staining solution can reduce background fluorescence. For suspension cells or adherent cells in suspension, consider reducing the AO staining solution concentration by 2–5 times and shortening the staining time to 2 minutes.Precautions1. AO Staining Solution is toxic. Handle with care. 2. For your safety and health, wear a lab coat and disposable gloves. 3. Fluorescent dyes are susceptible to quenching. It is recommended to complete detection on the same day after staining... Read More | Product contentG665801Component100 TStorageG665801A2×GoldStar Probe One Step Buffer1.4 mL-20℃.

Product IntroductionThe Quick Ligation Reaction Kit allows ligation of DNA sticky or flush ends in 5 minutes at room temperature (25°C). The kit contains Quick T4 DNA Ligase and 2×Quick Ligation Reaction Buffer optimized for fast and efficient DNA ligation.The ligation efficiency of Quick Ligation is equivalent to 1 hour of conventional ligation with T4 DNA Ligase. The Quick Ligation products can be used directly in routine bacterial transformation experiments.matters needing attention1. This kit enables most of the linkage reactions to reach the reaction endpoint within 5 minutes or less at 25°C. Increasing the reaction time will not enhance the reaction efficiency. If you use the rapid connection reaction after 1 hour, the conversion efficiency will be significantly reduced; if the rapid connection reaction at 25 ℃ overnight, the conversion efficiency will drop to 75%.2. 2×Quick Ligation Reaction Buffer contains ATP, which should be thawed on ice and mixed thoroughly before use. It is recommended to freeze the buffer in small tubes for the first time, so as to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, which will affect the efficiency of DNA ligation.3. Since T4 DNA Ligase contains glycerol, which is sticky and easy to hang on the wall, it is recommended to collect the liquid to the bottom of the tube by centrifugation for a short period of time before use, and the tip of the lance should not go too deep into the liquid surface when taking samples to avoid sticking to the tip of the lance and causing losses.4. If the quick ligation product is used for electrotransformation, the PEG in the quick ligation reaction system will affect the efficiency of electrotransformation, and it is recommended to use a centrifugal column to purify the ligation product from DNA before electrotransformation.Usage1. The reaction solution was prepared according to the following system:*The amount of Insert DNA used: the molar ratio of Vector DNA and Insert DNA is generally 1:3-1:8, and the appropriate molar ratio of Vector DNA and Insert DNA can be selected according to the experimental situation.Calculation of DNA molar number: DNA molar number (nmol)=DNA mass (ng)/( 660daltons x number of inserted DNA bases bp).2. mix gently and centrifuge briefly. react at 25°C for 5 minutes.Note: The reaction time should not exceed 15 minutes, otherwise the connection efficiency will be reduced.3. Do not perform heat inactivation reactions. Centrifuge instantly and collect the solution from the wall to the bottom of the tube.Note: Heat inactivation significantly reduces transformation efficiency due to the presence of PEG in the buffer.4. After the reaction, store the DNA ligation product at 0-4℃, and then carry out transformation experiments; you can also store the DNA ligation product at -20℃.Note: When transforming by chemical method, do not add more than 10% of the volume of the receptor cell for the ligation product.5.
