APOPTRAK™

A red fluorescent probe for cellular integrity...

What is it?

APOPTRAK™ is a chemical derivative of DRAQ5™. It is a novel cellular probe that can enter both INTACT and compromised cells, revealing the relative integrity of an individual cell membrane. APOPTRAK™ is a useful probe for use in apoptosis assays.

What are the key benefits?

APOPTRAK™ benefits from all the advantageous "far-red" spectral properties of its parent, but differs significantly in its rate of entry into LIVE cells. APOPTRAK™ enters LIVE cells slowly and apoptotic cells rapidly, allowing a positive discrimination between these two populations.

Key benefits include:-

  • Different rate of entry into LIVE and apoptotic cells, allowing positive discrimination by flow cytometry
  • Easy to use - no lyse, no wash, no RNase needed
  • Ideal for use with GFP & FITC labels - APOPTRAK™ fluoresces in the far-red region

Where can I buy APOPTRAK™?

APOPTRAK™ can be purchased from this website. See our purchase pages for full details.
