FAQs
What is the difference between Acriflavine, Neutral and Acriflavine HCl?
Acriflavine, Neutral has a balanced pH, making it gentler for cellular applications, while Acriflavine HCl is more acidic and may cause cell damage during prolonged staining.
Can I use this for live-cell imaging?
Yes, but limit exposure time as Acriflavine, Neutral can become toxic to cells with extended incubation. Always optimize concentrations for your specific cell type.
How should I prepare a working solution?
Dissolve in distilled water or appropriate buffer to a final concentration of 0.1-0.5% (w/v). Filter sterilize if needed for cell culture applications.
Is this product suitable for FISH protocols?
Absolutely. Its strong nucleic acid affinity makes it compatible with fluorescence in situ hybridization when used at optimized concentrations.
What’s the shelf life of Acriflavine, Neutral?
When stored properly in a desiccator at room temperature, it remains stable for 24 months. Check the expiry date on your eqipped package.
