PhenoVue DRAQ7 Dead Cell Nuclear Stain

PhenoVue DRAQ7 Dead Cell Nuclear Stain (Ex-Max 598 nm/Em-Max 694 nm)

PhenoVue™ DRAQ7™ Nuclear Stain is a small molecule which is not membrane permeable and is closely related to PhenoVue DRAQ5™. PhenoVue DRAQ7 rapidly stains the double-stranded DNA in dead and permeabilized cells. It is preferentially excited by red wavelengths (Ex. max 599 & 644 nm) and its maximum emission peaks at 694 nm when intercalated with dsDNA. PhenoVue DRAQ7 is provided in an aqueous, ready-to-use solution usually added as the final step in a staining protocol. It is documented in HCS applications.
