The cell-permeant SYTO 41 blue fluorescent nucleic acid stain exhibits bright, blue fluorescence upon binding to nucleic acids. Because the staining pattern of the SYTO dyes in live cells may vary from one cell type to another, we offer the SYTO Blue Fluorescent Nucleic Acid Stain Sampler Kit (Cat. No. S-11350) to enable researchers to find the dye that works best for a particular application.

Any physiological buffer between pH 7.0–8.0, including PBS, can be used to dilute the SYTO dyes for the staining solution.

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How do SYTO dyes bind to DNA?

The binding mode of SYTO nucleic acid stains is unknown. However, the behavior of these and related nucleic acid dyes suggests the following binding properties:

1.They appear to contact the solvent (suggested by sensitivity to salt, divalent cations, and in particular, SDS) and thus are likely to have contacts in the grooves.
2.All SYTO dyes appear to show some base selectivity and are thus likely to have minor groove contacts.
3.They can be removed from nucleic acid via ethanol precipitation; this characteristic is not shared by ethidium bromide and other intercalators. Likewise, the dyes are not removed from nucleic acid via butanol or chloroform extraction. These extraction methods do remove ethidium bromide from nucleic acid. 4. SYTO binding is not affected by nonionic detergents.
5. SYTO dyes are not quenched by BrdU, so they do not bind nucleic acids in precisely the same way as Hoechst 33342 and DAPI ((4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole).

SYBR Green I has shown little mutagenicity on frameshift indicator strains, indicating that it isn't likely to strongly intercalate.

Abstract
Nucleic acid binding agents exert local toxic effects on neurites via a non-nuclear mechanism.
Authors:Pin S, Chen H, Lein PJ, Wang MM
Journal:J Neurochem
PubMed ID:16441515
'The mechanism by which drugs that target nucleic acids cause neurotoxicity is not well described. We characterized the neurotoxicity of Hoechst 33342 (bis-benzimide), a common cell permeable nuclear dye, in primary neuronal cultures. The mechanism of cell death was not apoptotic, as death is rapid, not accompanied by typical nuclear ... More
Imaging collagen in intact viable healthy and atherosclerotic arteries using fluorescently labeled CNA35 and two-photon laser scanning microscopy.

We evaluated CNA35 as a collagen marker in healthy and atherosclerotic arteries of mice after both ex vivo and in vivo administration and as a molecular imaging agent for the detection of atherosclerosis. CNA35 conjugated with fluorescent Oregon Green 488 (CNA35/OG488) was administered ex vivo to mounted viable muscular (uterine), ... More
Two pathways converge at CED-10 to mediate actin rearrangement and corpse removal in C. elegans.

Journal:Nature
PubMed ID:15744306
The removal of apoptotic cells is essential for the physiological well being of the organism. In Caenorhabditis elegans, two conserved, partially redundant genetic pathways regulate this process. In the first pathway, the proteins CED-2, CED-5 and CED-12 (mammalian homologues CrkII, Dock180 and ELMO, respectively) function to activate CED-10 (Rac1). In ... More
Two-photon microscopy of vital murine elastic and muscular arteries. Combined structural and functional imaging with subcellular resolution.

Journal:J Vasc Res
PubMed ID:17192719
Understanding vascular pathologies requires insight in the structure and function, and, hence, an imaging technique combining subcellular resolution, large penetration depth, and optical sectioning. We evaluated the applicability of two-photon laser-scanning microscopy (TPLSM) in large elastic and small muscular arteries under physiological conditions. Elastic (carotid) and muscular (uterine, mesenteric) arteries ... More
