Thionin Acetate(CAT: I019733) is a cationic dye widely used in biological and biochemical research for its staining properties and interaction with nucleic acids. It is particularly effective for staining DNA and RNA in histological samples, enabling detailed visualization under a microscope. Thionin acetate is also employed in studies involving oxidative stress and photosensitization due to its ability to generate reactive oxygen species upon light activation. Its high affinity for negatively charged molecules makes it a reliable tool for probing cellular structures and functions. Thionin Acetate is invaluable in molecular biology, microscopy, and photodynamic therapy research.
