DRAQ7™ NEW!! features and benefits

A new live-cell impermeant, far-red emitting DNA dye ..

features 

 benefits

links

spectral

  • visible range excitation (blue or red)
  • far-red emission
  • non-enhanced DNA dye

 

  • can be used on a wide range of instrument platforms
  • no overlap with GFP/FITC or PE therefore no need to compensate
  • no need to wash out

binding/labeling

  • DNA specific
  • membrane-impermeant
  • can see nuclear architecture

 

  • nucl:cyto visualization
  • DEAD cells and FIXED cells
  • can use in most cell types - mammalian, bacterial, parasitic, plant etc...

chemical

  • buffer compatible / water soluble
  • low photobleaching
  • membrane-impermeant

 

  • no-wash protocols
  • very rapid staining in DEAD and FIXED cells
  • DOES NOT LABEL INTACT LIVE CELLS
  • conveniently supplied in aqueous solution

 flow cytometry

  • "viability gate"
  • spectrally separated
  • ideal for FITC/PE pairs
  • combines with "live" dyes

 

  • many applications in research, clinical and industrial settings
  • multiple excitation allows laser alignment on cells
  • DEAD CELL exclusion
  • apoptosis / leaky membrane indicator (in far-red)

imaging and laser scanning cytometry

  • nuclear "gate" or "trigger" for fixed cell samples.
  • DEAD cell / apoptosis "gate" 
  • flexible protocol development

 live cell imaging

  •  Rapid staining of dead / membrane-leaky cells

  • for cytotoxicity assays
  • apoptosis assays

 cell-based assays (fixed,end-point)

  • avoids UV excitation
  • reliable staining
  • allows single pass scanning

 

  • nucl:cyto differential staining ideal for translocation assays
  • halve scan times cf. Hoechst / DAPI
  • no UV "white out" - 10-15% more efficient screening of library compounds
