BioStatus DRAQ5 DNA dye for live and fixed cells

Tuesday, 19 August, 2014 | Supplied by: Sapphire Bioscience


DRAQ5 is a robust, far-red fluorescent dye that rapidly stains dsDNA and nuclei of live and fixed cells. The product is highly photo and chemically stable and easy to use, requiring no lyse, wash or RNase treatment. The dye is suitable for use in multicolour analysis and is compatible with a range of other dyes (eg, GFP and FITC) as it does not excite in the UV range, avoiding complications of autofluorescence.

The dye has many applications and is highly compatible with existing protocols across a wide range of instrumentation platforms. It is a suitable DNA stain in applications including IF nuclear counterstaining; HCS/IVT counterstaining; nucleated cell gating; DNA content/cell cycle analysis; in-cell Western assays.
