Brand:Biosynth
Description:Meta-Cresol Purple (MCP) is a fluorescent dye that is used to detect DNA polymerase chain reaction products. It is a cationic dye with an absorption maximum of 590 nm in the visible spectrum. MCP has been shown to bind to nucleic acids and therefore can be used as a probe for detecting DNA polymerase chain reaction products. The detection time for MCP can be up to 10 minutes. The biological studies show that MCP binds to the 3' hydroxyl group of the ribose sugar backbone of nucleic acids, which prevents the interaction of MCP with other biomolecules such as proteins. MCP has also been used in urine samples as an antimicrobial agent against bacterial strains like Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and yeast strains like Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. MCP is soluble in sodium carbonate at neutral pH, but insoluble in water or
