产品描述 | Quinacrine mustard is a fluorescent DNA-intercalating agent.1 It selectively binds to adenine-thymine (AT) base pairs over guanine-cytosine (GC) base pairs.2,3 Quinacrine mustard has been used to label metaphase chromosomes for karyotyping by autoradiography.1 It displays excitation/emission maxima of 425/480 nm, respectively.4 |1.
