FluoroGold
FluoroGold
SUMMARY
This dye has mainly been used as a retrograde neuronal tracer, although it can also distinguish between DNA and RNA binding according to its fluorescence emission. With two excitation peaks at approx. 330nm and 390nm, and two emission peaks at approx. 450nm and 600nm, our DAPI longpass filter sets 49025 and 19012 are appropriate for detection of the fluorescence emission associated with the both peaks, which together appear "gold". The 49025 set is also useful for distinguishing between FluoroGold bound to DNA or RNA.
