DFAME is a red fluorophore (Ex=508 nm, Em=641 nm). Beetroot and Corn are dimeric fluorogenic RNA aptamers that can bind to DFAME to form Beetroot-DFAME (Kd=460nM) and Corn-DFAME (Kd= 3600nM). Beetroot-DFAME (Kd=460nM) and Corn-DFAME can be used to form RNA assemblies in living cells. Creating RNA assemblies can be used for the study of RNA Nanostructures. DNA/RNA Nanostructures would be useful in cell and gene therapy (CGT) research.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
