Product Information

• Name: C.I.Acid yellow 3
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: C.I.Acid yellow 3 is a fluorescent dye that belongs to the class of trifluoroacetic acid dyes. It is soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, and insoluble in acetone and ether. C.I.Acid yellow 3 has been shown to be genotoxic in human serum, as well as being able to bind to DNA through electrostatic interactions with phosphate groups on the backbone of DNA or on the surface of negatively charged DNA phosphate groups. The dye has also been shown to inhibit polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) by binding to the primers during amplification of DNA and increasing the rate of primer-dimers formation, thereby preventing synthesis of new strands of DNA from occurring.
