The cell-permeant SYTO 16 green fluorescent nucleic acid stain exhibits bright, green fluorescence upon binding to nucleic acids. Because the staining pattern of the SYTO dyes in live cells may vary between cell types, we offer the SYTO Green Fluorescent Nucleic Acid Stain Sampler Kit #1 (Cat. No. S-7572) to enable researchers to find the most appropriate green-fluorescent SYTO stain for their system.

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