.Acridine Orange is a cell-permeant nucleic acid binding dye that emits green fluorescence when bound to dsDNA and red fluorescence when bound to ssDNA or RNA. When acridine orange binds to DNA, the dye exhibits a maximum excitation at 502 nm producing a maximum emission of 525 nm. When bound to RNA, acridine orange displays a maximum emission value of 650 nm and a maximum excitation value of 460 nm. It is also known to be a positive solvatochromic dye. Acridine orange has also been used as a lysosomal dye. The other names of it are 3,6-Acridinediamine, Acridine Orange Base, Acridine Orange NO, Basic Orange 14 etc. Acridine Orange is commonly used as a fluorescent stain in microbiology and histology.
