CyTRAK Orange™ high-content cell assays
... for a completely new opportunity in high-content screening
- image BOTH nucleus and cytoplasm with one fluorescent dye (example ..)
- works with LIVE cells and FIXED cells (example ..)
- not excited by UV or red laser lines (Ex spectra ..)
- fully compatible with green fluorophores (eGFP/Cy2/FITC) (Em spectra .. )
- ready-to-use; assay medium / buffer compatible
CyTRAK Orange™ is an exciting new derivative of the widely used nuclear dye DRAQ5™. It has novel properties for drug discovery scientists working to improve current cell-based assays and on the next generation of high-content biology.
With CyTRAK Orange™ you can see nucleus, cytoplasm, cell margins and boundaries between adjacent cells using one fluorescent signal. This means more information can be generated simultaneously: 488nm excitation alone can provide eGFP, nucleus, cytoplasm and PE-Cy7, while UV and red channels remain open for further parameters.
Applications for CyTRAK Orange™ include standard GPCR and other translocation / redistribution assays, kinase assays and cell-cell interaction assays for both live cells or following a fixation step.
First presented at the SBS 2006 conference in Seattle, it's available in all research pack sizes and bulk volumes for screening campaigns.(To the purchasing info .. )
