Fluoro-Gel II is similar to Fluoro-Gel, but Fluoro-Gel II contains DAPI (4, 6-diamino-2-phenylindole), which is a counter stain for DNA. This product is to be used in in situ hybridization techniques or other methods where fluorescence of DNA staining is required. DAPI excites at 360 nm and emits at 460 nm, producing blue fluorescence. RNA is also stained with DAPI.
Application: Immunofluorescence, confocal microscopy.
