Myth-busting DNA dyes and single cell sorts (UPDATED)
Sample preparation for single cell and isolated nuclei sorting: de-mystifying the use of DNA dyes for transcriptomics and genomics Sample preparation is a critical step in the downstream molecular analysis of single cells and nuclei. This is true for all biological analysis of course, so do the amount of sample preparation your end-point requires and no […]

DRAQ5 and FACSDiscover S8 (updated)
BioStatus been working with the BD FACSDiscover S8 at a leading SRL and training site on the use of DRAQ5™, as described in the article that described this novel instrument’s capabilities. In the course of this work it was quickly determined that the production model, not surprisingly, significantly outperforms the experimental platform utilised in that […]
Organ on a chip and DRAQs
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, […]
DRAQ7 assay replaces MTT
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 […]
ASSCR 2023 – Spotlight on Cell Therapies
BioStatus products DRAQ5™ & DRAQ7™ are, of course, used in countless research articles in pursuit of novel cell therapies. They are trusted by pharma, biotechs and leading research institutes globally. All BioStatus products are manufactured to the highest standards, from synthesis to packaging, under ISO 9001:2015 certificated processes. But why should YOU choose them for […]
XFP to RNAscope Imaging Fiduciary Marker
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 […]
Additional Mechanism for Cell Stress Survival
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 […]
