* Wavelengths of excitation (Ex) and emission (Em) maxima, in nm. All excitation and emission maxima were determined for dyes bound to double-stranded calf thymus DNA in aqueous solution. † Molecular weight (MW) for the anhydrous compound. The preceding ~ symbol indicates an approximate value, not including counterions. ‡ Products (S11348, S7020, S11368) supplied as 250 µL of a 5 mM solution; flow cytometry products (S34857, S34860, S34861) supplied as 1 mL of a 1 mM solution; SYTOX Red Dead Cell Stain (S34859) is supplied as 1 mL of a 5 µM solution. § Products (except N7565) supplied as 200 µL of a 1 mM solution. ** Includes 10 µL each of a 1 mM solution of the TOTO-1, TOTO-3, YOYO-1, YOYO-3, BOBO-1, BOBO-3, POPO-1 and POPO-3 dyes. †† Products supplied as 1 mL of a 1 mM solution.
