Organ-on-a-chip (OOAC) technologies and DRAQs DRAQ5™, DRAQfx™, DRAQ7™, DRAQ9™ and HypoxiTRAK™ offer a number of special benefits for the analysis of the improved physiological relevance organ-on-a-chip technologies (OOAC) or microphysiological systems (MPS). The red excitation and the far-red fluorescence reduces the interference from sample autofluorescence and the improved excitation light penetration and signal fluorescence transmission, […]

As has been found with 7-AAD in the ISHAGE assay, there are more up-to-date and designed-for-purpose reagents available that offer better options for getting the answers needed. Here, it is the turn of an old workhorse assay using MTT to be under the spotlight of academic scrutiny. Again, the far-red viability dye DRAQ7™ outperforms and […]

DRAQ7™ has been demonstrated as a fiduciary/registration marker to allow co-alignment of sequential images using nuclei staining from (native) fluorescence and then RNAscope™ procedures on the same re-processed slice. This workflow allowed for the successful protein detection prior to the RNA detection since the sample processing in the latter includes a protein degradation step that […]
A new cell stress survival mechanism has been identified that is initiated during sustained stress and acts additionally to and independently of the classically understood integrated stress response pathways. This work from the group of Prof Xiang-Lei Yang at The Scripps Institute shows a direct link between reaction-limiting substrate availability for an enzyme, its nuclear […]

Remarkable new technology from the lab of Prof. Michael Elowitz, California Institute of Technology, permits engineered transfer of synthetic RNA from one cell to another. This approach, that they have appropriately called “COURIER” (controlled output and uptake of RNA for interrogation, expression, and regulation), has the potential to elicit complex cell-cell interactions in multi-cellular systems, to […]
