'''Xylene cyanol''' (XC) is most commonly used as an [[agarose gel electrophoresis]] size marker. It runs alongside different DNA length markers depending on the % of the agarose gel. Despite its smaller molecular weight of 539g/mol it runs slower than [[bromophenol blue]] (670g/mol) because of its charge (1 net negative charge).
'''Xylene cyanol''' can be used as a color marker to monitor the process of [[agarose gel electrophoresis]] and [[polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis]]; in 1% agarose gels, it typically migrates at about the same rate as a 4000 base pair DNA fragment. [[Bromophenol blue]] and [[orange G]] can also be used for this purpose.

Xylene cyanol can be used as a color marker to monitor the process of agarose gel electrophoresis and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; in 1% agarose gels, it typically migrates at about the same rate as a 4000 base pair DNA fragment. Bromophenol blue and orange G can also be used for this purpose.

Xylene cyanol is also known as xylene cyanole, Acid Blue 147, xylene cyanol FF, C.I. 42135, ,and sometimes as xylene cyanole FF.
