Application

Nile blue chloride has been used to stain non-aqueous phase in fluorescence microscopy studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nile blue chloride is a green colored powder and is a member of oxazine group of dyes. It changes its color from blue (pH 9.4) to purple-red (11.0). Nile blue chloride has been used to detect DNA and lipids. In addition, it also helps to identify bacterial growth. Nile blue chloride also facilitates diagnosis of disease linked with amyloid accumulation.

Molecular wires show promise in nanoscale electronics, but the synthesis of uniform, long conductive molecules is a significant challenge. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of precise length, by contrast, is synthesized easily, but its conductivity over the distances required for nanoscale devices

Rapid detection of microorganisms by alternative methods is desirable. Electromigration separation methods have the capability to separate microorganisms according to their charge and size and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection have single-cell detection capability. In this work, a new combined separation

DNA molecules have attracted considerable attention as functional materials in various fields such as electrochemical sensors with redox-labeled DNA. However, the recently developed interstrand cross-link (ICL) technique for double-stranded DNA can adequately modify the electronic properties inside the duplex. Hence
