Description
Acridine orange hydrochloride hydrate (C.I. 46005) is a microscopy-grade fluorescent dye supplied as the hydrochloride hydrate. It is registered under CAS number 65-61-2, with the empirical formula C₁₇H₁₉N₃ · HCl · x H₂O and a molar mass of 301,82 + x H₂O g/mol. This salt form of acridine orange is widely applied in fluorescence microscopy for staining nucleic acids and assessing cellular morphology. is sized for preparing working stains, calibration solutions, and small-batch biological imaging experiments. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH for microscopy, the hydrate supports standard protocols in histology, cytology, and related life-science laboratories. Its Colour Index linkage and clear compositional data aid method documentation and reproducible staining performance. Ideal for research groups that need a defined acridine orange hydrochloride hydrate for fluorescence-based microscopic analysis.
This article belongs on Fluorescent dyes & labels, in Dyes, stains & indicators.

Questions about Acridine orange hydrochloride hydrate, (C.I. 46005) for microscopy, 1 g, glass
What is this article?
Acridine orange hydrochloride hydrate, (C.I. 46005) for microscopy, 1 g, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Fluorescent dyes & labels, inside Dyes, stains & indicators, in Lab chemicals.
A fluorescent dye absorbs at one wavelength and emits at a longer one. As a label it is attached to a protein, a nucleic acid or a cell. Excitation and emission maxima, and the reactive group if it must conjugate, are the specification. The colour name does not tell you the wavelengths.
A dye or a stain binds, or changes colour, so that something invisible becomes visible. An indicator changes at a pH or a redox point. A fluorescent dye absorbs one wavelength and emits another, which is how a microscope or a plate reader picks it out. The excitation and emission, or the transition interval, are the specification. The colour name on the label is not. Structures are on PubChem under IUPAC names. Methods are in the PubMed literature.
