DiTO™-1 [equivalent to TOTO®-1] *5 mM DMSO Solution* *CAS 143413-84-7*

DiTO™-1

equivalent to TOTO®-1; 5 mM DMSO Solution; CAS 143413-84-7

DiTO™-1 is chemically equivalent to TOTO®-1 (TOTO® is the trademark of Invitrogen). DiTO™-1 is a carbocyanine dimer with green fluorescence similar to FITC. It is cell-impermeant and easily distinguished from Cy5 and rhodamines as a nuclear counterstain and dead cell indicator. It is non-fluorescent in the absence of nucleic acids, and generates a very bright fluorescence signal upon binding to DNA. DiTO™-1 gives strong and selective nuclear staining in cultured cells and in paraffin sections. Simultaneous labeling with cell-permeable Nuclear Red™ LCS1 dye and cell-impermeant TOTO®-1 can be used to assess cell viability. DiTO™-1 and Nuclear Red™ both have much greater extinction coefficients than that of DNA-bound propidium iodide.
