Product Information

• Name: 2-Acetamido-4,6-O-benzylidene-2-deoxy-D-galactopyranose
• Synonyms: 4,6-O-Benzylidene-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Acetamido-4,6-O-benzylidene-2-deoxy-D-galactopyranose is a fluorescent dye that binds to the hydroxyl group of nucleic acids. It can be used for microscopy of cells and bacteria in culture. This dye is also used for the measurement of cavitation activity. The dye is added at a concentration of 0.1% to the cell culture media. After 24 hours, it can then be observed with a microscope under UV light. 2-Acetamido-4,6-O-benzylidene-2-deoxy-D-galactopyranose has been shown to have lysis effects on cells such as agarose gels and mammalian cells, leading to cell death by apoptosis or necrosis. It's also used as an indicator in gel electrophoresis experiments because it can bind to DNA and RNA molecules, which makes
