Oxazole Yellow Homodimer, also known as YOYO®-1, is a green-fluorescent, cell-impermeant, high-affinity carbocyanine dimeric nucleic acid stain. The dye is essentially non-fluorescent in the absence of nucleic acids but exhibits strong excitation/emission maxima 491/508 nm when bound to nucleic acids. In addition, the dye is non-cytotoxic and may be used for long-term monitoring of viability in cell cultures.
