DROP & GO™ is a NEW, ready to use formulation of DRAQ7™ - the far-red/NIR fluorescent DNA dye that ONLY stains nuclei of DEAD / permeabilised cells (even in long-term assays)
READY TO GO - specially formulated liquid in a quick and easy to use dropper
PRE-MEASURED – simply apply 2 drops to 0.5ml of cell suspension and go analyse!
2 PACK SIZES - starter pack (1x 30 flow cytometry assays), regular pack (3x 30 flow cytometry assays)
Applications:
Flow cytometry – dead cell exclusion, apoptosis, cell health
Cell sorting – dead cell exclusion to “dump” channel
Fluorescence microscopy – cell health and in vitro toxicity
Flexible, multi-colour analysis:
DRAQ7™ is detected in a far-red/NIR channel >675nm
DRAQ7™ can be excited with a choice of laser lines
DRAQ7™ is cross-platform compatible - flow/imaging flow cytometers and confocal/lamp-based microscopes
Why DROP & GO™?
The best of DRAQ7™ with dropper bottle convenience:-
widest spectral compatibility of any viability probe
truly cross-platform: in cytometry and microscopy
ultra-low toxicity: real-time, cell-by-cell monitoring of cell health
