We find that DRAQ5™ is the most robust DNA dye we have ever used.
It stains nuclei much brighter than cytoplasm and allows us to obtain clear images from even the most difficult tissues.

DRAQ7™ has enabled us to do experiments that were not otherwise possible before.
Not only is it a much cleaner signal than other viability dyes, but the fact that it is non-toxic has enabled us to do time courses with the same samples.
Highly recommended!

We found that CyGEL™ was suitable for complete immobilisation of procyclic stage L. major and T. brucei for 90 minutes without affecting cell viability.
This has enabled us to analyse a GFP-tagged form of the L. major membrane-associated protein, HASPB, using live confocal imaging and FRAP.

DRAQ7™ is a far-red fluorescent DNA dye that ONLY stains the nuclei in DEAD and permeabilized cells. DRAQ7™ is an ideal viability dye to report cell health over extended time periods.
