Can one take the excitation and emission wavelengths of Propidium Iodide for PMA (since it is the derivative of PI only). If not, then what is the exact excitation and emission spectrum of PMA?
Hello Neetika,
for PMA: Abs/Em = 510/610 nm (http://biotium.com/product/pmatm-dye-propidium-monoazide/)
for PI: Abs/Em = 536/617 nm (http://www.olympusmicro.com/primer/techniques/fluorescence/fluorotable2.html)
Best regards
Here are the details Nikita
Name : PMATM, Propidium Monoazide
Phenanthridium, 3-amino-8-azido-5-[3-
(diethylmethylammonio)propyl]-6-
phyenol dichloride
Catalog Number : FP-BZ9340, 1 mg
Structure : C27H33Cl2N6
Molecular Weight : MW= 512.51
Solubility: Water, DMSO or DMF at least 10mg/ml
Absorption / Emission : λabs (before photolysis) = 464 nm
λexc./λem(following photolysis and covalent
attachment to DNA/RNA)= 510/610nm
@Christian Q. Scheckhuber and Deepti: Thanks for the valuable answer.
