- DRAQ7™ is a small molecule closely related to DRAQ5™. It has peak absorbances at 600nm and 646nm. It fluoresces in the far-red / near infra-red (NIR) peaking at 697nm (bound to dsDNA). On a flow cytometer it is possible to detect DRAQ7™ using blue laser (488nm) excitation.
Flexible, multi-colour analysis:
- DRAQ7™ is detected in a far-red/NIR channel >675nm
- DRAQ7™ can be excited with a choice of laser lines
- DRAQ7™ is cross-platform compatible – flow/imaging flow cytometers and confocal/lamp-based microscopes
The best of DRAQ7™ with dropper bottle convenience:-
- widest spectral compatibility of any viability probe
- truly cross-platform: in cytometry and microscopy
- ultra-low toxicity: real-time, cell-by-cell monitoring of cell health
What our Customers are saying about DRAQ7™:-
- We have used DRAQ7 as a convenient viability dye in whole blood Lyse-no-Wash flow cytometry protocols, included in a 8-color panel. The staining we got was excellent and no major compensation issues arrived. We will definitively keep using this dye in further projects

GENyO, Granada, Spain - The greatest characteristic of DRAQ7 is Ease of Use. Short incubation time (~10 min) and excitation by near-infrared wavelength allow us to sort and eliminate dead cells in flow cytometric analysis easier. This dye also has good performance considering its low price
