DRAQ7TM - Spectral features

  • Fluorescence emission from 665 nm into the low infra-red
  • Suggested optimal emission filters include 695LP, 715LP or 780 LP
  • Optically compatible with benchtop flow & laser scanning cytometers and epifluorescent & non-UV confocal microscopes
  • Useful excitation at sub-optimal wavelengths from the 488 nm, 568 nm and 633 nm lines, plus optimal 647 nm excitation. No UV excitation, unlike propidium iodide.
  • No compensation needed with common FITC/GFP + PE combinations in flow cytometry. Can be combined with many live cell dyes.
  • Allows multi-line imaging/cytometry when combined with UV & vis. range fluorochromes
  • No apparent fluorescence enhancement upon binding to DNA
  • Photobleaching not normally observed
