Beckman Draq7 Dye

DRAQ7 is a novel far-red emitting viability dye (e.g. 725nm/20nm bandpass) that can be used as a membrane impermeant fluorescent dye for the rapid and convenient staining of the dsDNA/nuclei of cells, tissues and organisms including dead, permeabilized or fixed mammalian cells with minimal RNA-associated fluorescence. It does not enter intact live cells, reducing the potential for false-positives, and making it an ideal reporter for real-time viability/toxicity studies by HCS imaging, flow or microplate-based cytometry.
