LUCS 13 is a cell-permeant nucleic acid stain that exhibits green fluorescence upon binding to nucleic acids. The stain has a high fluorescent yield and a structure identical to SYTO™13 stain.
LUCS 13 is used to stain both DNA and RNA in live and dead eukaryotic cells as well as Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The dye is excited by the blue laser at 488 nm. Its fluorescence emission is detected in the fluorescein channel with a peak at 509 nm when bound to DNA and 514 nm when bound to RNA.
The dye can be used in simultaneous labeling with cell-impermeant nuclear markers, such as YoDi-3, to evaluate cell viability using fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry.
