Acridine orange by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is high grade reagent. This organic dye is a derived from dimethylaminobenzaldehyde and N,N-dimethyl-1,3-diaminobenzene. This reagent is available as an orange coloured powder. These dyes are prepared by the condensation of 1,3-diaminobenzene with suitable benzaldehydes. This compound is cell permeable in nature, and interacts with DNA and RNA by intercalation or electrostatic attractions respectively. When acridine orange binds with DNA, it exhibits an excitation maximum at 502 nm (cyan) and an emission maximum at 525 nm (green). Whereas, the excitation maximum is located at 460 nm (blue) and the emission maximum is located at 650 nm (red), for RNA.
