HTS / HCS Screening Evotec Opera™ assays

DRAQ5™ describes the nuclear and cytoplasmic boundaries - live or fixed!!

Opera™ users confirm that DRAQ5™ offers even more benefits to HCS cell-based assays. Not only is it:-

  • ready-to-use, refrigerated solution
  • far-red = far away from other fluors
  • stains all nucleated cells, live or fixed
  • stoichiometric with DNA content

BUT ALSO ...

FLEXIBLE ASSAY PERFORMANCE:

DRAQ5™ can be used to stain live or fixed cells as the final step directly before imaging or combined with PFA for a one step "fix and stain" to simplify and increase the efficiency of your assay

INCREASED CONFIDENCE IN AUTOMATED IMAGE ANALYSIS:

DRAQ5™ labels BOTH the nucleus and to a lesser extent the cytoplasm to demark the cell boundaries of these compartments. This allows the automated compartment segmentation by instrument software (Acapella™) to be much more robust and reliable.
