Testimonials description....
"In previous studies, our research team was investigating the placental sublocalization of various proteins by confocal microscopy. We used FITC-labeled secondary IgGs for the immunolocalization of the target proteins and DRAQ5 fluorescent DNA dye for counterstaining the nuclei.
Staining with DRAQ5 was very easy and quick, and it worked very sensitively on both paraffin embedded and fresh frozen placental tissue sections. As the spectra of DRAQ5 and FITC did not interfere, the nuclei stained sharply with no background.
I was extremely pleased with the quality of the images and impressed with the effectiveness of DRAQ5. If anyone asks for feedback, I would be happy to recommend this product. In our current studies, we use DRAQ5 for placental confocal imaging again!"
