DRAQ7 Improves SP Analysis

DRAQ7™ permits a new kinetic
understanding of SP analysis.  

  • Membrane-impermeant DRAQ7™
    allows removal of interfering Hoechst signals coming from dead and damaged
    cells. 
  • DRAQ7™ is non-toxic,
    does not passively enter intact cells during the extended exposure times
    required and also allows sorting of the viable SP sub-populations. 
  • DRAQ7™ has no
    UV-excitation, avoiding PI’s red emission overlap. 
  • Far-red DRAQ7™
    permits multi-colour phenotypic SP analysis.
