DRAQ7TM - Cell-Based Assay Features (fixed cells or cytotox assays)

  • Simplify HCS assay development: the perfect HCS counterstain - far-red labeling nuclei of fixed cells and dual Nucl:Cyto differential labeling, ideal for translocations.
  • Ideal for cytotoxicity / apoptosis assays: labels dead or membrane-compromised cells - fully compatible with common visible range fluors.
  • Make compound screens 10% more effective: Visible range excitation avoids UV "white-out" from coincidental natural UV fluorescence of ca. 10% of compounds in a library when using DAPI / Hoechst dyes.
  • Double the speed of a screening assay: far-red emission is ideal for GFP and YFP ligands - spectral separation allows simultaneous acquisition of signals. A typical 12 week GPCR screen can be reduced to 6 weeks!!
