RedDot 1 Far Red Nuclear Stain, 200X in H20
Biotium RedDot™1 is a far-red cell membrane-permeable nuclear dye similar to Draq5™. The dye is ideal for specifically staining the nuclei of live cells. RedDot™1 can be used to stain adherent or suspension cells. The dye is highly thermostable and photostable, providing convenient handling and ideal for demanding applications such as confocal microscopy.
RedDot™ dyes combine the advantages of existing nuclear counterstains, such as DAPI, Draq™5 and Draq™7, with some key advantages. Spectrally similar to Draq™5 and Draq™7, the RedDot™ dyes are excitable by several common laser lines and emit fluorescence in the far-red spectral region. RedDot™ fluorescence emission is well separated from the emission peaks of other popular fluorescent probes, making RedDot™ dyes ideal counterstains for multicolor imaging. Cell permeable RedDot™1 stains the nuclei of live cells rapidly and specifically
Please also see RedDot™2 (cat# 40061), a spectrally similar dye designed for specific nuclear staining of fixed and permeabilized cells or selective nuclear staining of dead cells.
