"Results were great, dye of choice for staining nuclei"

PRODUCT:                 DRAQ5

Application Area:       Staining nuclei in cardiomyocytes (engineered heart tissue)


Ease of Use:              ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
After Sales Service:    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Value for Money:        ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
 Average rating:          5.0

Comments: The value for the money is great - with only a tiny amount of dye the nuclei in our cardiomyocytes in the engineered heart tissue samples were stained in a high quality. We used it for an immunofluorescence staining of the whole-mount tissue, which worked out fine. We can highly recommend it.

"The best way to visualize nuclei"

PRODUCT:                 DRAQ5

Application Area:       visualisation of nuclei during immunofluorescence analysis


Ease of Use:              ⭐⭐⭐
After Sales Service:    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Value for Money:        ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
 Average rating:          4.7

Comments: DRAQ-5 is really easy to use for visualization of nuclei during immunofluorescence analysis. For simple samples (cells in monolayers) it is great. However, for samples with many layers it does not penetrate all layers equally. For that reason, such "difficult" samples are not reproductive in 100%.
