Works as expected
DNA labeling for nano-imaging
It is easy to use. The photo-stability and brightness are great. The far-red spectrum also provides less potential damages to DNA structures.

Very simple use to detect the nuclei and the signal is generally bright.
To visualize nuclei for basic research
It is easy to use and the staining is generally bright. In my case it was helpful since it was not possible to detect the fluorescence released by other compounds used to visualize nuclei such as dapi or hoechst 33342.

Great nuclear counterstain
Nuclear counterstaining in fluorescence microscopy
DRAQ5 is a bright and easy-to-use nuclear counterstain in the red part of the spectrum. It doesn't require washing after incubation and hence can save you a couple of minutes in the lab.

A bacterial DNA DRAQ5 was added to differentiate them from the background.
labeling bacterial viability for flow cytometry and confocal microcopy analysis
We ordered the product from Thermo Fisher. It is very easy to use in an effective and economical concentration range (after titration). Its use on fixed bacteria is a success. The protocol we have developed is the subject of a technical note: A flow cytometry method for safe detection of bacterial viability (DOI: 10.1002/cyto.a.24794)

DRAQ5™ is a novel far-red fluorescent LIVE cell DNA dye that can be used in combination with other common fluors, especially GFP fusions & FITC-tags.
DRAQ5™ has many applications and is highly compatible with existing protocols across a wide range of instrumentation platforms. Biostatus is happy to provide extensive pre-sales technical support for your application.
Main application areas are HCS, flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy.
- Rapid staining of dsDNA/nuclei of LIVE or fixed cells
- Easy to use - no lyse, no wash, no RNase needed
- Ideal for use with GFP & FITC labels - DRAQ5™ fluoresces in the far-red region
- Cost-effective analysis
FOR HCS LABS:
DRAQ5™ is the ideal nuclear counterstain for HCS.
It can reduce the screening time by 50%.
It permits simultaneous visualisation of the cytoplasm and the nucleus with one fluorophore!!!
Suitable for all HCS platforms including GE InCell 3000 and Evotec Technologies' Opera.
