Cat.#: ASSD-102
Description | DAPI is a blue fluorescent DNA stain that is cell-permeable at high concentrations. This product is commonly used as a nuclear and chromosomal counterstain. It is used preferentially for staining dead cells. DAPI is less effective as a live cell stain because it cannot efficiently cross the cell membrane of living cells. Therefore, higher concentrations may need to be used. Due to DAPI emitting blue, there is very little fluorescence overlap between yellow fluorescence, green fluorescent molecules (such as fluorescein and GFP), or red fluorescent stains (such as Texas Red). It is therefore suitable for multiplex assays. DAPI Staining Solution (1mg/mL) also available. |

Applications | The product is commonly used for cell imaging, cell counting, cell sorting (based on DNA content), apoptosis analysis, and HCA (high content analysis). |
