Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Confocal microscopy

Easy to use and highly productive

Review Date: 5 Sept 2024 | Biostatus Limited

Works as expected

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

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.

Good

 

Average Rating 4.0

Application Area:

Immunofluorescence

Works as expected

Review Date: 1 Aug 2024 | Biostatus Limited

Very simple use to detect the nuclei and the signal is generally bright.

 

Average Rating 4.0

Application Area:

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 results!

 

Average Rating 4.7

Application Area:

Confocal microsopy

The product is highly effective for confocal microscopy use and easy to use. We could achieve high-quality and reproducible results. Quality meets the value of money, also considering the after-sales care.

Great Result!

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Staining Nuclei

The staining result was of high quality.

Review Date: 15 Dec 2023 | Biostatus Limited

Great nuclear counterstain

 

Average Rating 4.7

Application Area:

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.

Review Date: 13 Nov 2023 | Biostatus Limited

A bacterial DNA DRAQ5 was added to differentiate them from the background.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

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)

Great results

 

Average Rating 4.0

Application Area:

Cell cycle analysis of leukemia cells

We have obtained excellent results staining acute myeloid leukemia cells for flow cytometric analysis of the cell cycle.

Review Date: 21 Jul 2023 | Biostatus Limited

Great and reliable results, easy to use, recommended in IF experiments

 

Average Rating 4.7

Application Area:

analyze tissue samples and cells

DRAQ5 is easy to use and provides reliable and consistent staining, when the datasheet information is followed. High-quality results are achieved in confocal microscope in immunofluorescence experiments using cells or tissues.

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.
